I don't know - this is perhaps a little highfalutin for this kind of reaction thread, but it seems like art needs context . . . and that context essentially depends on shitty art, basically in whole.
So yeah - if you're Yale, and you want to push a great art department and be responsible for grand works of cultural significance, I'd say you have to let retards do the artistic equivalent of finger painting or national socialism. Serious, misguided, high-minded errors really show me what is "art" by showing what . . . isn't.
This girl wants to cause an uproar by faking abortions? Great! What a fantastic example of exactly why the art world lacks credibility with everyday people, and why Thomas Kinkade is the most popular American painter today. Whatever statement she thinks she's made has been completely lost on even the smartest people, and she has basically failed in every way. Great job. Here's your D-, and good luck teaching 3rd graders how to work a kiln in a few years. Marry rich.
