"The disposition to deny any intimate bond between art and ethics is the consequence of a larger artworld endeavour to hive off art from other social practices and to establish art as an autonomous realm unto itself. That is, if the artworld is a domain independent from the external concerns of any other social institution, then it straightforwardly follows that art is something distinct from ethics and certainly not beholden to it."
