Beauty is Nowhere cover

This book is an important addition to the discourse on contemporary ethical issues in art and design. Beauty is Nowhere makes a timely contribution to the necessary explanation of the relationship of ethics to art and design practice, and the ability of the arts to matter as we approach the next millennium. From informal discussion to formal essay, distinguished theoreticians and practitioners of art explore issues of political space, user- centred design, the social responsibility of the artist, design legislation, cultural hierarchy, modernism as colonialism, and the ethical opportunities and minefields of postmodernism. This volume grew out of a thematic lecture series: Ethical Issues in Art and Design sponsored by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Art and Design, College of the Arts, The Ohio State University.
