This volume is divided into nine chapters. Each chapter focuses on a different theme in contemporary art. Each chapter begins by introducing the theme and its wider social context. Following an overview of earlier artistic approaches to the theme, each chapter examines recent artists' treatment of the theme in light of key theories and strategies in art production. The chapters discuss the subcategories which have attracted significant attention in contemporary publications and exhibitions. Each chapter ends with two profiles of individual artists working in the area of the theme.
Cut Piece
Ono's Cut Piece, one of the most iconic and important performances in recent art history, is an exercise in giving and receiving. Its central theme is self-sacrifice, and the Buddhist concept known as the Prince Mahasattva (or the "Selfless Prince") in Buddhism. While enacting this performance, Ono wore the most beautiful suits she could afford, believing that by doing so, she was sacrificing herself for the sake of others.
Gender
The increasing violence against humanity has made gender a more prominent concept in contemporary art. Common belief has been formed that gender and sexuality are synonyms due to their similarities. This error has been corrected by social responsibility. But, what does the idea of gender impact art? We will briefly discuss gender and contemporary artwork in a few subsections. We will also discuss art history. And we'll see how gender is represented in contemporary art.
Site-specific work
A wide range of styles can be used to create site-specific works in contemporary art themes. These works reflect the specific site they are being installed. Site-specific artworks still retain the artist’s calling card and aesthetics. Land art, an example of this, was developed in the 1960s and combines sculpture with natural surroundings. Installation art is another form of site-specific artwork. Continue reading to find out more about this and other types of site-specific art.
Performance art
The central point of all performances is the human body. Many call performance art "Body Art". This is a result of a lack in ideas. Others see it as a form liberation. Performance artists want to connect with their audience at a human- and social-level. The resulting work demonstrates the power of human performance and the social and political implications of art. This type of art is growing in popularity today.
Video art
Video art has become a popular medium in recent times. Museums are now open to video art and have the financial resources to allow galleries to display it frequently. Many major art museums now have extensive collections of video art. The Tate, for instance, started collecting film in the 1970s. But why is video artwork so popular today? Listed below are some of the reasons why.
