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 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.

Ethics is one of a series documenting major themes and ideas in contemporary art.' (Excerpt from back cover)
