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.

The book explored characters dealing with abuse, vengeance, and ... continue -
Quality gets Kinky
no responses - Posted 10.06.08
In the age of Ikea, Walmart, and Super everything, quality has been relegated to the era of walking uphill both ways in the snow just to get to school. Most of the furniture that populates the living rooms of the western world has a shorter lifespan than our grandparents clothing. Things are meant to be used and then thrown out ... continue -
