The art sector, and in particular the contemporary art market, has seen a significant growth in volume of transactions and financial flows, without an equivalent growth in regulation and governance. In this largely unregulated sector, the absence of codes of conduct or of any systematic enforcement has potentially allowed systemic biases and non-transparent practices such as conflict of interests, abuse of dominance, insider trading, nepotism, sexism, opaque funding, networks of undue influence to be potentially more wide-spread than in other sectors. This course aims at equipping the students, as future leaders in creative industries, with potential frameworks for ethical decision-making, using concrete cases and examples from the sector and its key stakeholders such as artists, collectors, curators, museums, foundations and other public and private cultural institutions.
