Goals of the contemporary art

For sure, new trends and tendencies in modern life bear new, so-called contemporary art. It is the modern language of communication in the society. The frames are broadened and modern art consists of many kinds of “arts” and tendencies. Many years ago art was a kind of intimate conversation of an artist with his masterpiece. Now it has passed to many aspects: film making, pop-art, body-art, piercing, video art, installation, performance and so on. The one that remains unchangeable is the world and its perception and expression by means of the special language – the language of art. But modern artists have a very difficult task which is to tell the world their own words, to find absolutely new idea, an original form and to amaze the audience and true connoisseurs of art. 

I think that one of the main goals of the contemporary art is to draw the attention of the people who have a specific way of thinking and philosophical position. It’s not a kind of art for art. It's art for people and people's minds. It exists to make people think about the surrounding realities in an extraordinary, different way. 

The second goal of the contemporary art is to interest not all people, but those who appreciate exactly this type of art. People can choose what they like. They don't have to make themselves like what is popular. They can be fans of what they are really fond of. 

Another important goal of art nowadays is to show the realities of our life which can be hidden from people. It is really important not to live in the vacuum or in the “perfect life” which was synthetically made by us, but to be ready to interpret life as it is.

The most important goal of the contemporary art is to evoke a response from the hearts of the spectators by means of their feelings and emotions; to turn the audience out of the social sleep and to attract people's attention to their lives. 

What is also necessary for the modern art is to give every person a chance to show his or her talent. There are a lot of installations, art-centers and galleries for young artists where volunteers can try themselves in art or they can show the audience their masterpieces. The goal is to discover new people, new tendencies and new trends thanks to the view of young people on the world and problems existing around us.

I think that a very significant role of art in our life is its participation in attempts to solve the problems of the world. Many artists suggest their vision of the solution of many problems. Also, in their works artists can show their suppositions about the reasons of the occurrence of some disasters, accidents and cataclysms in the world. And the task of the society is not to ignore this, but to consider their opinion, to make some conclusions from what we have seen, due to the artists.

There are many cases when people with the bad health can't be a full-fledged part of life and of the world. In such cases art becomes a helper, a hope for salvation for them. The goal of art is to give people a chance to become the part of the society, to show people that they can also be talented and have a very creative thinking. 

So, as a conclusion, I can say that contemporary art gives people many different possibilities and also has a lot of goals which are rather important for the modern life.
