CONTEMPORARY ART Eng. contemporary art; in the 90's run was a translation of "contemporary art") - a set of artistic practices developed in the second half of the twentieth century. Usually, modern art to understand art, going back to modernism, or in conflict with this phenomenon. Contemporary art in its present form emerged at the turn of 1960-70-ies. Artistic quest of that time can be described as the search for alternatives to modernism (often this translates into a denial through the introduction of directly opposing the principles of modernism). This was reflected in the search for new images, new tools and materials of expression, up to the dematerialization of the object (performances and happenings). Many artists have followed the French philosophers coined the term "postmodernism." We can say that there was a shift from object to process. The most noticeable phenomena turn the 60's and 70's can be called the development of conceptual art and minimalism. In the 70 significantly increased the social orientation of the art process, both in terms of content (those raised by the artist), and composition: The most noticeable phenomenon mid 70's was feminism in art, as well as increase the activity of ethnic minorities (1980 - e) and social groups. The end of the 70's and 80's witnessed a "fatigue" of conceptual art and minimalism and a return of interest in fine art, color and figuration (flowering of such movements as the "New Wild"). At the mid-80's have to lift time movements, actively using the images of mass culture - kempizm, art, East Village, is gaining strength, neo-pop. By this time, is flourishing in the art of photography - more and more artists are beginning to refer to it as a means of artistic expression. The art process greatly influenced the development of technology: in the 60 - video and audio, then - computers, and in the 90's - the Internet [2]. Early 2000-ies noted disappointment in the possibilities of technical means for artistic practices. In this constructive philosophical justification for contemporary art 21 st century has not yet appeared. Some artists of 2000's suggest that "modern art" becomes a tool of power "post-democratic (English)" [3] Society [4]. This process causes the enthusiasm of the representatives of the art system, and the pessimism of the artists. Several artists of 2000's, returns to commodity object abandoning the process and offer a commercially profitable attempt the 21 st century modernism.
