I choose poopy fart.

I don’t mean to get all Janice Christian on you. You can pick a swear word in caps for the end.

I think she’s being disingenuous at best, saying that what she’s doing isn’t meant to be provocative. Oh, REALLY. I agree that she’s got…issues is hardly the word for it… I mean, I’m still glad that we live in a place where she CAN do this sort of thing and not get locked up, I really am, but I think she’s getting way, WAY more attention than she deserves. I wish at least that she’d acknowledge the shock value factor. Her being all surprised at the reaction is just lame. I think that pisses me off the most.

Plus, the exhibit just sounds like 10 kinds of unsanitary.

Performance art tends to chap my hide. If the above was really her artistic goal, she really, really, really deserves an F. Having never taken a class in performance art (I assume there are classes) I wonder about how students are graded.

And here’s a little tip to art students everywhere: if ambiguity is your goal, don’t start with the female body. There must be a big chunk of that sentence that was edited out…”the ambiguity of ???? surrounding form and function of a woman’s body”…because I’m not sure there is much of anything that could be more UNambiguous than a woman’s body. Duh.

It’s all part of the show, everyone, it’s all part of the show.

She still can’t speak worth a fart.

I know I don’t make a lot of sense. I skipped most of my art major senior seminar class. It shows. They still let me graduate…cuz they felt sorry for me. (For reals.)

It’s ok if you want to kill one baby, but…….several babies…..that’s disturbing on so many levels.

It’s clear to me, Chad Reisser, that you, Aliza Shvarts, are incapable of impacting the world using words, ideas, or art. Therefore, you resort to this abhorrent display, using your blood-bought rights of free expression as an American citizen like something cheap and disposable, like a dishrag. You disgust me.

If you want to have a serious conversation about my opinions regarding the destructive habits of fundamentalist-type folks, be they hardcore Christians or Yale Art Students / Serial Abortionists, we should have it on another thread… this one has me just too foul minded for anything beyond fly-by sarcasm.

C’mon man! I totally told them I loved them after I told them to shut up. :) Also, I was exhorting fundamentalists of all shapes and sizes, on all edges of the sociopolitical spectrum, not just the tighty-rightys.

And also I’m also not exactly speaking in my serious, big-boy voice here. This is my internet voice, which is the same as my 2 year old son’s “Outside voice.”

Most of us were raised at the fringe of fundamentalism. Just enough to get a little taste… and spit it straight back out on the ground, where it belongs.

STFU.

Love, Chad.

Youth is so unbelievably overrated.

I have decided to, like, stop being so, like dismissive of great art, and umm.. like… rejecting, like, my anti-empowerment, homogenized, umm, like, paternally inflicted, umm… like, boxes of my institutionalized, power-mad, hetero-umm-normative upbringing.

You know?
