Aliza Shvarts
Before I continue, if you don’t know who Aliza Shvarts is, it’s time you learned. Aliza is not just a senior in Davenport College, Yale, with awards for citizenship and leadership; she is also an acclaimed artist on many levels and is even regarded as “the first great conceptual artist of the internet age.” Her newest creation is intended to be a large cube suspended in the center of a room. The cube will be wrapped in hundreds of feet of plastic-wrap; smeared in between each layer of plastic will be blood from her self-induced miscarriages. Vaseline will be smeared with the blood to preserve it. Then a video will be projected onto all four sides of the cube showing her in a bathroom in the process of miscarrying her potential children. This was her senior project.

An Odd But Elegant Process
no responses - Posted 06.18.08
After brewing a cup of tea, we hardly even consider the possibilities of a used tea bag before we toss it in the trash. In general, little thought is given to what we discard and any alternate uses it may posses. Although a majority of us don’t ponder prior to tossing, one exemplary artist, Tilla Kuenzli, showcases her ... continue
