University officials said there is “no merit” to the allegations made in a lawsuit filed two weeks ago by former School of Art student Annabel Osberg ART ’09, who claims she was unfairly expelled from the Master of Fine Arts program in painting and printmaking. Over the past several weeks, Osberg, 19, has told media outlets, including the News, that she is being...
Aliza Shvarts '08 is presenting her latest work in London on Saturday — no, not that one. The world has seen and heard little from Shvarts — whose original senior art project included videotapes of what she claimed were repeated induced miscarriages — since the Yale alumna quietly graduated in May. Now, she's back: in an event sponsored by London's Tate Modern...
Aliza Shvarts ’08 has submitted another art piece in place of her controversial senior project that purportedly documented nine months of self-induced miscarriages, the University said this week. The announcement — which came Monday, a week and a half after Shvarts’ initial project inspired nothing short of a national controversy — puts to rest the question of...
Aliza Shvarts ’08 has submitted another art piece in place of her controversial senior project that purportedly documented nine months of self-induced miscarriages, the University said this week. The announcement — which came Monday, a week and a half after Shvarts’ initial project inspired nothing short of a national controversy — appears to provide an answer to...
WEST HAVEN, Conn. — Next to the West Campus’ gleaming, brick-and-steel laboratory buildings lies an unadorned warehouse, clad in metal paneling and weathered from many a New England winter. To Yale’s scientists, those gleaming, state-of-the-art research buildings seem like the complex’s biggest prize. But art aficionados may argue otherwise. To them, that...
As Aliza Shvarts ’08 remains silent about her controversial senior art project, a Yale official said that a scientific test found no traces of human blood in the Davenport College senior’s art studio, although there was no way to determine whether the project in its entirety had been examined. The disclosure came after The New Haven Register reported Wednesday —...
As Aliza Shvarts ’08 maintained her silence Monday, the University kept its promise to forbid the Davenport College senior from installing her controversial senior art project in a public exhibit planned to go on display today. On Sunday, Yale College Dean Peter Salovey said Shvarts would not be allowed to open her exhibit unless she issued a written statement...
As the future members of the class of 2012 descend on campus this week, they will have endless concerns — how to locate Commons, which classes to attend, where to find the most crowded Bulldog Days party. But, despite worry expressed by students and administrators throughout the week, the now-infamous art project of Aliza Shvarts ’08 is not one of them. Outside...
Aliza Shvarts’ ’08 controversial senior art project may have dominated talk about the Art Department this past week. But today, 20 other senior art majors will unveil their final projects — with or without her. The themes and ideas behind the seniors’ work are profoundly diverse, and the show will feature pieces from each of the four concentrations in the art...
The University will not allow Aliza Shvarts ’08 to display her controversial senior art project at its scheduled opening Tuesday unless she confesses in writing that the exhibition is a work of fiction, Yale officials said Sunday. The University, meanwhile, acknowledged that it has disciplined two faculty members for their role in allowing Shvarts to proceed with a...
Behind every Yale art major, there is an adviser. With the recent media coverage about Aliza Shvarts ’08 and her incendiary senior art project, Pia Lindman, a little-known lecturer at the School of Art, has been thrust into the spotlight. But the attention was not wholly unfamiliar to the performance artist, who has raised eyebrows with provocative performances of her...
Aliza Shvarts ’08 was never impregnated. She never miscarried. The sweeping outrage on blogs across the country was apparently for naught — at least according to the University. As the news of her supposed senior art project chronicling a year of self-induced miscarriages was greeted with widespread shock on campus and elsewhere, the Davenport College senior traded...
