Moje rzeczy
(Instytut Sztuk Pięknych Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019-12) Tulik, Sylwia
The article is an attempt to answer questions connected with objects, collecting and owning them, and their function. What is an object in a person’s life, how many emotions and meanings does it carry? Is it beautiful or useful and is beauty utility? Why does it define the times it was created in, and why, in the course of time, acquiring meaning, does it become timeless and everlasting? How does a collector make his way in the world of objects, what is his attitude to them? Where is the borderline between the desire to possess and the madness of possessing at all costs? Can the line be drawn? Museum exhibitions and their evaluation; exhibition correctness and viewers’ emotions.
Żyć, aby patrzeć. Refleksje o pięknie i użyteczności
(Instytut Sztuk Pięknych Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019-12) Nowak, Witold
The paper analyzes the relation between beauty and utility. The author examines those two values using examples from architecture, interior design, hand-icrafts and mass production. He advances the thesis that the order of beauty and the order of utility need not be separated or absolutized, particularly as regards the latter. He distinguishes between utility in a narrow sense, which is meant to satisfy current and basic needs, and utility in a broader sense, where what is beautiful usually turns out useful, as it provides energy to live, brings joy and aesthetic pleasure. Beautiful objects can also enhance social prestige of creators, customers and owners.
