I think it's a good discussion, even if she isn't telling the truth. Of course, if the following is true: “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," then the entire thing is absurd. I mean, who does she think she is, Andy Kaufman or something?

So she embraces her inner masochism just to to prove that people who see something come to subjective conclusions and observations. It's hardly avant garde subject matter. She's getting what she wants, attention. Of course, that would be my subjective conclusion/observation.

Contrary to my initial reaction, I'm not sure if Yale is trying to save face or not. I think that they don't know what to say.

that's another way to look at things. i guess i simply ignored the condition if it were false, because i wouldn't have a problem with her artwork, whatever the interpretation is. artists aspire for recognition, so if that's really what she wants, it's what she's getting
