From avant-garde aesthetics to everyday aesthetics: two ways to resist through art

Resistance and avant-garde are the focus of this essay’s analysis, to investigate
the problematic and elusive meaning of art. This singular phenomenon
always appears in an evasive way, resistant to being classified in a categorical
manner. It may be suggested that ‘the artistic’ swings between social customs
and certain emancipatory tendencies, which reconfigures the entire human experience. Following several clues to classify these divided results in a revision
of art as a critical exercise in society and expanding its forces to non-artistic
territories. Without doubt, avant-garde leads to expressive dynamics that
emerge in everyday environments in the midst of contemporary life. In other
words, it’s a question of thinking about how aesthetics operates in everyday
life, beyond Art?
