Arte y procesos democráticos. Hacia una estética horizontal

This book is both a curatorial thesis and an aesthetic study of the practice. PSJM presents a critical analysis from the field of Aesthetics that takes as its object of study the collaborative and participatory practices in art and architecture. This analysis is based on a philosophical reflection that not only aims to be a practical philosophy, that is, a reflection on the human, but above all, it aims to be an applied philosophy: the proposal of norms and the conceptualization of actions and modes of relationship that can be useful to later practices. Horizontal relations of power, generalized deliberation and cooperation in search of a job well done, are presented as "ways of being" that can guide wills, desires and motivations. 

Data are collected from curatorial practice, understood as experience and experiment, to try to build on these certain previous intuitions and also to think about the tensions that occur in participatory and democratic practices in art in the light of experience, of transformative action.
