    What Is Contemporary Art

    Uploaded by

    ROMILYN MANGARON PELAGIO
    Contemporary art refers to art produced by artists living today, from 1960 onward, as opposed to modern art which spans from 1880 to 1960, and it explores new ideas, styles, and mediums influenced by current social and political contexts. Contemporary art differs from modern art in that it is more fluid, interactive, site-specific, and collaborative in nature rather than fixed to a particular style. The contemporary encompasses a wide range of styles from social realism to abstract minimalism and utilizes new mediums like installations and digital art forms.
