this seems to me to be the most obvious and selfish way to get attention for ones “art”. as an aspiring art historian this offends me. it offends me that she got into this school, that she is getting attention for it, that this is even a thought. i feel like there are a million ways to convey the same ideas and political/corpreal relationships without doing this. there are millions of men and women who are fighting every day to get pregnant and can’t. there are millions of men and women fighting for women’s right to choose and this is the type of fodder that just feeds the pro-lifers arguments about people’s lack of respect for life. she took the easy way out, lowest possible road. there is nothing intellectual, stimulating, interesting, or intriguing about this piece. it is a train wreck.
*i am not just grossed out, i count paul mccarthy, dash snow, and tracy emin as some of my favorite artists. there are sophisticated and beautiful (even if not conventionally so) ways of getting political ideas across. this is NOT one of them.
