Course objectives
The course examines some of the range of relations between the "art system and its environment." The interest of artists about "everyday aesthetics" began with romanticism (and was confirmed by the avant-garde movement) finds its counterpart in the aesthetization of everyday life, begining with lifestyle, urbanism and design, ending in a virtual reality of creative industries. It is not just about blending different aesthetics. Released creativity also sees its matter in ideas, practices, language or behavior. However, the creativity correlate with social deviance. We can see examples of it in quasi-scientific inventions of bricoleurs or naive thinkers (creative excesses of rationality), as well as transgressive practices of modern art (conflicts of cultures). Contemporary visual art often enters directly into social reality as a an agent making social issues visible, but also as an initiator of solution proposals´ or dialog and cooperation facilitator. Imaginative, critical and subversive potential of art it is offered as inspiration for institutionalized research and intervention, which is limited by (buck passing) frames of legal and economical norms.
