Abstract
We are used to having a particular view of the world and sometimes our way of thinking seems unquestionable. However, what sustains our ideas? Is there only one way of thinking about reality or the state of things?
The work presented here tries to problematize and put into tension different assumptions about art and beauty. This study presents a proposal to reflect on what sustains our value judgements about aesthetics (as a concept of beauty) and art (as artistic creation).
Nowadays, art seems to favour the possession of the work of art rather than its contemplation. Everything seems aestheticised and the boundaries between art and reality are becoming increasingly blurred.
