ORLAN

I found the 'works' or Orlan to be extremely crude. I am not trying to sound like a prude, but I may seem like one in this entry: I found what she did to be disrespectful and disgusting. I can appreciate a lot of the art we have seen in this class, but this is one artist I have no appreciation for. People go under the knife for medical reasons or to improve their self esteem, but Orlan just took it to another level and made a mockery out of something serious. The colorful patterns and garments worn were unique, so that was cool. But as far as being awake and getting these surgeries just for the purpose of 'art' I did not like that aspect. Not to mention the unnecessary guts and gore.... very gross
