The contemporary transformation of aesthetic/art institution is triggered by the multiple contradictions and complications among aesthetic/art and institution. One critical way to enable contemporary aesthetics to exceed traditional paradigm of aesthetics and art criticism is to rethink the institutional dimension of the aesthetic and art. On the basis of ethnographic exploration of contemporary social situation, contemporary mechanism of art circle and all kinds of critical consciousnesses, the criticism of aesthetic institution has motivated multiple dimensions of contemporary aesthetic criticism. According to the contemporary circumstances, the criticism dimension of contemporary aesthetics mainly focuses on the following several themes: the aestheticization of everyday life; the deconstruction and reconstruction of the boundary of beauty; art by metamorphosis: the formulation mode of art; criticism of aesthetic capitalism: distinction and cross boundary; political potential of the art of volneralble groups: the power of aesthetic resistance; aesthetic institution criticism and liberal government. On the basis of the above, the ultimate respect to "beauty" by contemporary aesthetics is to start two dimensions, i.e., poetics and politics of contemporary aesthetics eventually by clarifying the relationship between the aesthetic and art and politics/power, and practicing some transcendence by taking the aesthetic as one special institutional form.展开更多
