Ab-arting topic

I wonder about the physiological and psychological harm, not only for her but for the other students. Art is communication, and I am not sure what message is being sent here, no matter her intent.

I find her objectifying such an event fascinating. Most women find abortion and miscarriage stressful/tragic. This is confusing. :?

I dpn't consider this art at all. I put it in the same category as the guy who rented out a storefront in NYC and put a bed with a pile of ham on it in the window.

Sorry to slander, I misstated what you said. I stand by my point, though.

And I was right about her not actually doing it. This project really alarmed and caused a lot of uproar, which makes it a success. Putting lots of ham on a bed doesn't do that at all, plus it wastes food.

Art Eeww-veau topic

Tim_Tex, you may be referring to Plastination, by Dr. Gunther von Hagens of Bodyworlds. Check it out on Wiki. Even they have it right! :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew: :eew:
