Summary:

Uncommon Goods traces the shift in artistic concern toward the hidden ethical dimensions of global commerce, discussing the work of, among many others, Ai Weiwei, Cory Arcangel, Thomas Hirschhorn, and Santiago Sierra. The resulting volume will be an important contribution to scholarship on readymade art as well as to the study of materiality, embodiment and globalization.
