本文將以1999 年9 月於紐約市布魯克林博物館展覽－<感覺>(Sensation)所引起的爭議為討論的主軸，探討當代藝術在複雜的利害關係與社會多元價值中，道德、正義、美學、生存的矛盾之處，該如何取捨？藝術家該用何種框架面對現今錯綜複雜的現實環境與弔詭的法條？又該用何種嚴格的標準來做自我檢視，才不會進退失據？台灣對於此展覽所引發的討論並未有相關的資料，僅能以網路資料（多為美國權威代表的紐約時報）及此案件的判例(99 CV 6071)(http://www.nyed.uscourts.gov/pub/rulings/cv/1999/99cv6071.pdf)1做為文本研究的主要依據。並分析同時期National Endowment for theArts v. Finley 案件做為輔助比較，以了解美國藝術補助的方向及可能產生的問題
