The author analyzes historical examples of allotment gardens as well as sports and recreational grounds in Katowice (Poland) to underscore their importance for the appeal of the city and its ecology. Schreber’s and Jordan’s gardens of Katowice epitomize broader relationships between the human and nature observed in a typical contemporary city of the 20th century, where nature has crucial significance for the psychological and physical well-being, ensuring one an opportunity for leisure, promoting health, a sense of comfort, as well as activating all senses, which have become dulled today due to the impact of the virtual worlds. The author also outlines his own urban activities, which attempt to draw attention of city dwellers to the advantages of green areas.

The main claim of the article is that everyday aesthetics conceived as a philosophical analysis of everyday objects and situations offers a theoretical perspective that may be applied to the aesthetics of public space. Analysed in aesthetic terms, the public space may be thought to be a space that offers an aesthetic experience to the widest possible public. I contend that the aesthetic quality of public space should be a quality that favours positive experiences of the everyday, banal practices taking place in it. Accordingly, designing public space should consist in making it “everyday experience-friendly.” My argument will be illustrated by the example of a site-specific installation, the Oxygenator, created in Warsaw by Joanna Rajkowska, whose intention was to offer people an ordinary place where they could meet in a “healthy atmosphere.”

Novels in the everyday : an aesthetic investigation

Everyday aestheticians have had relatively little to say about literature. Inspired by Peter Kivy’s philosophy of literature as laid out in his books The Performance of Reading and Once-Told Tales, I examine reading literature as a part of everyday life. I argue that not only do Kivy’s views help explain the value that avid readers place on their daily silent engagement with a book, but that his philosophy of literature also shows how literary works can have an aesthetic presence in our everyday lives even during periods in-between reading a book. In light of the paper, literary reading turns out to be an artistic routine that fills avid readers’ everyday lives in a very literal sense.

In this paper, I analyse the phenomenon of artification of everyday experience. Using the concept of “artification” developed in the field of Everyday Aesthetics, I define the non-artistic experience, which is co-shaped by art and related to its models of perception. As the consequence of this mechanism, I indicate the tendency to project some artistic cognitive schemas (or their elements) to the existing reality. As a result of this process, events and non-artistic views are captured in the image of art, as ”art-like”. The process of the interpenetration of the fields of art and non-art may lead in turn to the reversal of the mimetic order – when artistic creation determines the forms of examining the world to the extent that it creates the effect of “life imitating art”. This phenomenon of formalizing experience according to artistic models is illustrated by examples from the linguistics, visual arts and literature.

Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie problematyki związanej z relacją między naturą a sztuką, w kontekście estetycznego doświadczenia codzienności. Za przedmiot analizy obrany zostaje, w szczególności, przypadek uwikłania kategorii artystycznych w potoczne doświadczenie natury – patrzenie na świat oraz rozumienie przez pryzmat sztuki. W pierwszej części tekstu zrekonstruowana zostaje historia filozoficznego toposu „świata jako dzieła sztuki:” od starożytności do nowożytnych propozycji estetycznych. Druga część poświęcona zostaje przywołaniu założeń dwóch najdynamiczniej rozwijających się subdyscyplin współczesnej estetyki filozoficznej: estetyki codzienności oraz estetyki środowiskowej. Analiza skierowana zostanie w kierunku tego, jakie konsekwencje niosą za sobą owe założenia w kwestii zapośredniczenia doświadczenia w schematach związanych ze sztuką (stanowiska sztukocentryczne oraz anty-sztukocentryczne). W ostatniej części artykułu zestawione zostają orientacje estetyczne wynikające z dwóch różnych podejść do tego rodzaju doświadczenia: afirmatywne stanowisko Thomas’a Leddy'ego oraz krytyczne Arnolda Berleanta.

The main aim of this paper is to present issues related to the relationship between nature and art, in the context of the aesthetic experience of everyday life. The subject of the analysis is, in particular, the case of entanglement of artistic categories into the common experience of nature - looking at the world and understanding through the prism of art. In the first part, the history of the philosophical topos of „the world as a work of art” is reconstructed: from antiquity to the modern aesthetic proposals. The second part recalls the assumptions of the two most dynamically developing subdisciplines of the contemporary philosophical aesthetics: everyday aesthetics and environmental aesthetics. Here, the analysis is directed towards the consequences of these assumptions regarding the mediation of experience in art related schemes (art-centered and non art-centered positions). In the last part of the paper are summarized the aesthetic orientations resulting from two different approaches to this type of experience: the affirmative position of Thomas Leddy and the critical one of Arnold Berleant.
