(Two terms that are often interchangeable)  The terms 'modern' and 'contemporary' refer to vastly different periods. Modern Art is not the same as Contemporary Art, although they could share some characteristics, sources and influences.  What is Contemporary?

Contemporary Artist CULTURAL OVERVIEW MODERN: Neo-Realism Dealing realistically with the events leading up after the World War II CONTEMPORARY: Social Realism Freedom and liberty to experiment with all styles CULTURAL OVERVIEW Example: Ibn Saud Ahmad (Zamboanga)- hybrid mixture of local Subanen and traditional Maguindanao Muslim Cultures.

PROCESS-BASED The artist starts not with a final product in mind, but instead begins with a development of a concept and then subsequently proceeds with realizing the idea. BERNARD COHEN 3. SITE-SPECIFIC This allows the artwork’s meaning to have a direct relationship to a specific location where it is seen or experienced. Changing the location of the work would mean a change in the interpretation of its value or meaning. Example: A glow in the dark exhibit is best placed indoors. BULUL (RICE DEITY) HAGABI  4. COLLABORATIVE The end product is created with the involvement of two or more artists. Collaborative artworks often present multiple perspectives on one main idea, factored with spontaneous results, and thus Borlongan, Justiniani, and Garibay Art Fair Philippines 2017 possess more complex avenues for analysis. Example: Collaboration can involve a musician working with a visual artist, an architect with a dance artist or a theatre practitioner working  5.

CONTEMPORARY ART IS NOT CONFINED TO THE MUSEUM They are also found in galleries, art schools, side streets, and public spaces like the train or bus stations, shopping centers or parks. Example: The 20-meter-high underpass columns in Manila are all painted through the Urban Artscape Project 7. PRACTICE OF SELLING PAINTINGS Many artworks are posted online.

Example: FilipinoArt.ph is an online marketplace that showcases emerging and seasoned Filipino artists and their 8. CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS CAN BE SELF- TAUGHT They can learn art without formal education. Example: Watching Youtube videos, copying the masters and studying their art, or talking to other artists.

Example: The portrait of Marilyn Monroe appears in a variety of colors as it was interpreted by Andy Warhol.  It is not how much money they make out of the final artwork. It is the movement in dance that matters, or the plot that is communicated to the film viewers that is important. Given these characteristics, it can be said that contemporary art is as statement that an artist makes about life, thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and many other things that define human life. ANY QUESTIONS?
