“…apparently recorded the forced miscarriages on video and planned to exhibit the images on a large cube suspended from the ceiling of a gallery in Yale’s Holcombe T. Green Jr. Hall. She also planned to include hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting layered with blood from the purported miscarriages mixed with petroleum jelly.”

When this was revealed, it caused immediate controversy and condemnation. It also resulted in immediate damage control by Yale University, with the student in question suddenly denying that she had (as earlier claimed)

“…inseminated herself repeatedly over nine months, took herbal drugs to induce abortions and then recorded the bloody aftermath.”

It was, she said, an elaborate effort of creative fiction.

And then there was the prize winning German artist who…

“…is looking for someone whose dying hours will be spent in a art gallery with the public admiring the way the light plays on the flesh of a person gasping for the last breath.”

Seems this artist has a thing about death. Having already gained critical acclaim for a sculpture of a dead woman, he has been planning this artistic display for years. He even has a pathologist and art collector on board. All he is lacking is a dying volunteer.

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t really see either of these two projects as art.

Definitely bizarre. Possibily sick and twisted.

But Art?

What do you think?
