the Pursuit of aestheticization of the product obtained by the buyer as a result of the process of consumption is an important feature of today's “world of consumerism". Visitors to the exhibition, the audience or buyers, if you do not wish to obtain for their personal use, at least, to see the object that embodies the concept of “beauty”. Category “beautiful”, has art galleries and taboo in the discourse about contemporary art, emphasized in the title: in the beauty salon, the consumer gets what he considers to be beautiful, but in fact the taste imposed by the seller – in this case, living, played by the artist. “Client”, but in our case – the viewer should be satisfied.
