This course explores how ethics and ethical issues enter into the contemporary arts, whether painting, sculpture, installation, film, television, or video production. Students study ethical theories, probe the meaning of moral judgements, and identify the assumptions underlying different theories of ethics as they relate to artistic practice. Students consider some of the principal issues artists are faced with in contemporary practice, and are encouraged to develop the skills of critical enquiry and debate.
