AIM OF THE PROPOSAL:
Contemporary art is art produced in this present period of time. lt is of the post
1960- modernist period. lt includes and develops from postmodern art, which
itself is a successor to Modem art. lt seems to exist in a zone of freedom, keeping
distance from the ordinary functional character of everyday life and from its rules
and conventions.

Quieter contemplation and intellectual play exist together in that zone and
offences against systems of belief. Since the early part of the 20th century, a
common concern was what creates art. ln the contemporary period (1950 to
now), the concept of avant-garde has come to define what art is
