The The Museum of Modern Art's exploration of "Contemporary Art" evoked a profound sense of evolution, particularly emerging in the latter part of the 20th century. The term "Contemporary Art" places a strong emphasis on the “Contemporary”, suggesting that artists are actively engaging with current societal, political, psychological, and environmental issues. Through various artistic forms, these creators delve into these complexities, crafting their perspectives to bring these matters to a broader audience.
In this context, the creation of "Contemporary" Art extends beyond traditional forms like painting, music, or sculpture. It transcends mere representation, aiming instead to raise awareness and illuminate obscured aspects of the world. It often involves moments of shock, surprise, or discomfort, seeking to capture essential facets of “Contemporary humanity”.
I believe, in the realm of architecture, the “Process” takes precedence as the primary medium for designers and developers. Within Contemporary Art, the process itself becomes the medium for conveying the final message. This approach encompasses narrative, collaborative, speculative, and critical methodologies, not solely focused on constructing a building but on crafting a new kind of experiential "being" within a space.
