Aliza Shvarts’s abortion art project sparked waves of outrage on Thursday before the university announced that “the entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.”
But Ms. Shvarts is not playing along. She told The Yale Daily News that her project “did not consist of certainties” like medical tests to prove whether she was pregnant before she took “abortifacient herbs.” In reply, Yale released another statement to the newspaper saying that she’s determined never to reveal the hoax, as it would compromise her work:

[A Yale spokeswoman] told the News that Shvarts had vowed that if the University revealed her admission, “she would deny it.”
“Her denial is part of her performance,” Klasky wrote in an e-mail message. “We are disappointed that she would deliberately lie to the press in the name of art.”

Yale is saying that it's false, but she is saying that it isn't, so who knows.
