SmART Talk: Modern Art vs Contemporary Art

# data[].attributes.body
Contemporary Art is defined broadly as the art of today or art made within "our lifetime".  Since lifetimes vary,  what is its accepted time period?  Contemporary art is mostly accepted as art produced in the second half of the 20th century or in the 21st century (1960 or 70's to present). Contemporary art is created in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world. It employs a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts and subjects making it diverse and eclectic. Some of the larger contextual frameworks it is concerned with are social issues, identity, community, and nationality.
