AGAINST MORALITY
ROSANNA MCLAUGHLIN
$36.00
Floating Opera Press
88 pages, soft cover
9783982668321
Another salient essay from this series, published by Floating Opera Press. In recent decades art institutions have sought to embody liberal values of universal equality and social justice. This move toward greater inclusivity has borne witness to a countervailing trend: artworks are increasingly scrutinized for their political implications, and artists must take care not to transgress particular moral fault lines. The title is provocative, but McLaughlin convincingly connects the aesthetic celebration of “protest” or “politics” within the gallery space, to the institution’s intolerance for real life action that might jeopardise their own optics, position, and reveal their complicity in maintaining imperialist, Zionist, and capitalist regimes.
