today.it is distinguishable from Modern Art in historical, stylistic and cultural terms. The most common
characteristics of contemporary art revolve around their being site-specific, process-based, collaborative and
interactive. Also, contemporary art us never fixed, but open to many possibilities. Therefore, contemporary art refers
to the recent and current practice of art ranging from the 1970s up to the present. It mirrors the society and culture
of the present times. It uses a combination of different methods, materials, and the ideas that transcends the
traditional way of art making.
