    Anything is creative art
    Aliza Shvarts' Insists Miscarriage Art Project Is Real - Living on The Huffington Post


    #23 communist manifesto
    23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

    Do you think this is creative?
    More artistic than the 'religious art' of the past few years?
    What do you think the artist is expressing?
    What do these types of art do for you?

    I think that far too much trash is protected under the name of art.
    There was pure porn on display at one of Atlanta major colleges a few years back. We did finally require them to have a guard to that area so that no one under 18 was allowed to enter, but sadly not without a fight.

    Art is being taken advantage of by many with pure trash.

    I read about this story days ago; it seems it keeps changing from "It was real!" to "It's fake!" Either way, it's gross.

    Do I think it's creative? Sure - to be creative is to think of something out of the ordinary, and this (real or not) is certainly out of the ordinary. But I also think it's repulsive. It makes light of a very real, very emotional experience for women (miscarriage) and turns it into entertainment. There's only one person who knows if this is a legit story - the artist, and she's not going to come clean one way or the other because this way, her 15 minutes of fame hang on just a bit longer.

    I'm no art critic, but I'd have to say, no, this is not art. This is an attention w***e. Pardon the language! :)

    Exactly! I agree with both of you.

    Maybe we're all too "uncivilized" to understand modern art, and that's our problem! I remember going to the Modern Art Museum in DC and wandering around thinking... what the??
