Contemporary Art
Strictly speaking, the term "contemporary art" refers to art
made and produced by artists living today. Today's artists work
in and respond to a global environment that is culturally diverse,
technologically advancing, and multifaceted. Working in a wide
range of mediums, contemporary artists often reflect and
comment on modern-day society.

Contemporary Art
Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists who
are living in the twenty-first century. Contemporary art provides
an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues
relevant to ourselves, and the world around us. Contemporary
artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and
technologically advancing world.
Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods,

concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and
defy easy definition.

Contemporary Art
The work of artists who are living in the twenty-first century.
Contemporary art mirrors contemporary culture and society,
offering teachers, students, and general audiences a rich
resource through which to consider current ideas and rethink
the familiar. Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art is
distinguished by the very lack of a uniform organizing principle,
ideology, or -ism.

Contemporary Performance
Contemporary performance is hybrid work that integrates text,

dance, objects, music, costumes, lighting, image, sound, sets, and
vocal expression into complex interactive systems.
Contemporary performance collages are often non-narrative,

technically rigorous, and carefully orchestrated anarchic chaos.
They unsettle perception, demand critical engagement from
audiences, address conceptual debates within aesthetics, draw on
a diverse range of cultural interests, and bring pleasure to
populations across the globe. (Morgan v. P. Pecelli)

Where do we
start?
What is contemporary art?
Contemporary Art refers to current and very recent
practice. It also refers to works of art made by living
artists.
Contemporary Art tends to be assessed
thematically and subjectively, drawing on an
expanded range of theoretical and practical
disciplines.
Contemporary Art can be driven by both theory
and ideas, and is also characterized by a blurring of
the distinction between art and other categories of
cultural experience, such as television, cinema,
mass media, entertainment and digital technology.
