Contemporary art from the perspective of post-contemporaneity

Drawing from a selection of texts close to the conceptualization of post-contemporaneity and, to some extent, post-contemporary art, the article highlights certain characteristics of contemporary art, particularly as expressed through criticism. Contemporary art analyses from the perspective of conceptualizations of post-contemporaneity are supplemented with an attempt to contextualise the similar process of formation of the idea of contemporary art that takes place through criticism of the pre-established conception of art, especially modernism. A parallel reading of the formation of the idea of contemporary art and something that could be understood as a process of formation of post-contemporary art is further supplemented with texts from the history of ideas related to art from the formative context of the modern conception of art, i.e. from the late 18th century onwards.
