The Ethics of Art
Is there a right or wrong when it comes to art? The Ethics Centre puts together a panel to crack the code.
Overview
Being an artist in 2015 is a tough gig. What with trying to be true to your creative self while trying to make ends meet in an increasingly commercial society. Not to mention, living up to the pretty specific political and social ideals that society has come to expect of its artists. Artists are the real architects of change and all that jazz. But are those expectations fair? What of those other works that are unexpectedly politically incorrect or offensive? Is there a right or wrong when it comes to art?
Guardian art critic, lecturer and ABC presenter Andrew Frost will lead a panel in exploring these and other hot issues surrounding art and ethics in the first of a new series of talks events hosted by The Ethics Centre (formerly St James Ethics Centre). Joining Frost in this discussion will be Australian contemporary artist Lindy Lee, artist and founder of blog CoUNTess, Elvis Richardson and major collector and media commentator Sue Cato. The event promises drinks, nibbles and lots of serious thoughts.
