To the frontiers of moral The present text constitutes chapter 6 of a book published under the title : Triple Game of Contemporary Art (Éditions de Minuit, 1998). Using many examples, it shows how the visual arts deliberately play with common sense values, civism, dignity and (with predilection) decency. As a result, misunderstandings arise with the public, and, at times, scandals that artists indulge in between derision and subversion.
