You blaspheme The Painter of Light?!!!


And I agree with you.

But Shvarts stood by her project, calling the University's statement ultimately inaccurate.

Link: Ugh, now she is disputing Yale's claim.

"Ultimately inaccurate"? What does that mean?

I particularly like this description of the art:

"Shvarts said her project would take the form of a large cube suspended from the ceiling of a room in the gallery of Green Hall. Shvarts said she would wrap hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting around the cube, with blood from her self-induced miscarriages lining the sheeting.

"Recorded videos of her experiencing her miscarriages would be projected onto the four sides of the cube, Shvarts said, and similar videos would also be displayed on the walls of the room."


Another Yale Daily article on it.
