Abstract
The contradictory is an appearance. Investigating John Cage, James Joyce, Joseph Beuys and Enric Miralles we get to learn that game, constriction, contradiction and chance are homogeneous strategies in the processes based on an artistic evolutionary commitment, being this a key factor to assume established creative processes in a critical realism and a relational aesthetic. Taking reality as it is, not escaping from what the voices mean to be a block for the development and even be open to the dialogue, assume the complexity of the real thing, not shutting oneself up in the known, but being open to the unknown, relaxing in swampy fields without yearning for safe structures, is the base of an education which will teach self-sufficiency capacity and self-management to people, promoting the ambition for a critical and constructive life together. Contradictions must underlie the echo of the memories, which emerges from the subconscious, forming an essential part of the creative processes and being on the other hand the mirror of the context we live and in which we take active part. The paradox as a unifier of reflection. Reality is also an appearance.

The contradictory is an appearance. Investigating John Cage, James Joyce, Joseph Beuys and Enric Miralles we get to learn that game, constriction, contradiction and chance are homogeneous strategies in the processes based on an artistic evolutionary commitment, being this a key factor to assume established creative processes in a critical realism and a relational aesthetic.
