Summary/Abstract: We live in a world of dispersion and variability, immersed in the turbulent course of events. Art has relative autonomy. The instability of boundaries and amorphism of works of art and their theories may be disturbing but may also be a challenge worth accepting. My response to this challenge is also a hybrid one in a sense. I am an aesthetician, and thereby a theorist, and at the same time I am an art recipient and art lover. This state tends to be, in the nature of things, a state of suspension of judgment. Does this help or hinder aesthetic experience? The first part of the paper will deal with theory, and the second — with direct contact with art.
