calling Shvarts's bleeding a “period,” a “miscarriage,” or an “abortion.” The performance has also been written about as an example of the ways in which issues of truth, reality, and fiction are called into question in contemporary mass media. Doyle proposes that “the content of the performance has expanded to include nearly all reaction to it.” Art historian Nikki Cesare Schotzko writes that the “immaterial documentation that accumulated in virtual space” is an essential part of the work. A number of critics have included Untitled [Senior Thesis] in histories of contemporary art about reproductive freedom, including Larayb Abrar, Lisa Gwen Andrews, Sophie Lewis, and Wendy Vogel. Documentation and exhibition After the work was censored by Yale, Shvarts did not show any visual material from Untitled [Senior Thesis] for 10 years. The performance is only visible through the lens of her recent works that use the documentation as their material. In one series called Banners (2018) Shvarts printed out the entire contents of very long comment threads from 2008 about the work, from theYale Daily News article, or a viral Twitter thread, for example. These very long prints (the longest is over 102 feet long) are hung on the wall or suspended from the ceiling, allowing the heavyweight vinyl to extend onto the floor. In 2018 these works were first exhibited at Shvarts's solo exhibition at Artspace, Off Scene, alongside Player, 2008/2018 a work in which the video documentation was slowed to span the duration of the exhibition, via a custom media player. These works were also exhibited in Purported, a solo exhibition at Art in General, where Player was stretched out to 1632 hours, creating a work that intentionally complicates evidentiary expectations.
