Part of the acclaimed 'Documents of Contemporary Art' series of
anthologies . ...this volume persuasively argues that there can be
an aesthetics to ethics. - Stan Douglas, Artist The boundary of a
contemporary art object or project is no longer thought of solely
in physical terms but rather in relation to the specific social
field it creates. Art is thus increasingly implicated in questions
of ethics. This collection evaluates the relation of ethics to
aesthetics, an encounter central to the contested space of much
recent practice. It brings together theoretical foundations for an
ethics of aesthetics; appraisals of art that engages with ethical
issues; statements and examples of methodologies adopted by a
diverse range of artists; and examination of artworks that question
the ethical conditions in which contemporary art is produced and
experienced. Artists surveyed include: Michael Asher, Tania
Bruguera, Christoph Buchel, Merlin Carpenter, Paul Chan, Lygia
Clark, Dexter Sinister, Fischli & Weiss, Andrea Fraser, Liam
Gillick, David Hammons, Sharon Hayes, Thomas Hirschhorn, Khaled
