Is it the latest artistic production of the place or the most integrated and simulated to the contemporary events there?
Contemporary art is the art of today, produced in the second half of the 20th century or in the 21st century. 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 continue the challenging of boundaries that was already well underway in the 20th century. Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art as a whole is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform, organising principle, ideology, or "-ism". Contemporary art is part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.
Contemporany art exprimes the problems and efforts and confusion of our society. Contemporany art has lost the direction of the aesthetics.
What means 'true meaning' in art?
Has any art has 'true meaning'?
A road sign has 'true meaning'. But an artwork creates meaning - it is interpretable and can that be because of its history and the artwork that made art history: the language an work of art is written in (performed, executed, formed, shaped)
So - no 'true meaning' - may be possible meaning - and the truth one experiencing as spectator - self-recognition? Ego? The artist as spokesman or woman of a community? Of a struggle for emancipation? Freedom?
- You name it.
Art is your truth.
Trust your truth!
That is what beauty is.
Truth art as an aesthetic experience.
Contemporary art is linked to the senses and sensorialities – that is, to the sensorium – of today. Its rupture with modern art occurs in the middle of the 20th century, more due to the restructuring of existing elements than to the emergence of new content. Unlike trends that preceded it, however, contemporary art places more importance on the construction process of the works rather than the final product – hence the idea of “work in progress”. In this way, art undergoes a movement of desacralization, in which the dichotomy existing in modernism – the distinction between high and low culture, excellently problematized by Andreas Huyssen – gives way to works that appropriate products, industrial materials, and elements of everyday life to elevate them to the category of artistic work (this is, for example, the principle of readymades by Marcel Duchamp). On the other hand, according to Arjun Appadurai, the imagination is no longer exclusive to the space of art, myth, and ritual, becoming part of the quotidian mental work of ordinary people. With the increasingly accelerated emergence of local and global interactions, the advent of new formal aspects of culture and their association with a new type of social life and a new economic order, art will also be a space for the dilution of borders, crossing forms, artistic genres, countries, and geocultural territories. It is common, however, to point out the coexistence between a so-called “traditional art” and contemporary art. Thus, the contemporary production of a given place may be more linked to parameters of the local “traditional art”, for example. Both the notion of tradition and contemporaneity in art, however, demand attention from researchers to continuities and transformations in the work or in the group of works studied – for this reason, it is necessary to carry out an analysis that intersects two axes, one diachronic and another synchronic.

Contemporary refers to art of the current time. currently art is the most diverse it's ever been. Modern art is a big influencer of contemporary art. The freedom from traditional art and mediums opens the door for abstract and nonrepresentational art. Contemporary art challenges 'what is art' by using unconventional mixed media as well as unexpected subjects. Unlike modern art, contemporary art's main goal isn't subverting traditional art. contemporary art is about creating art for the sake of creation, with individual artists deciding To make it subversive or political or unexpected.
