This study looks for thinking the contemporary art from its link with the modern art critical character. Modern art develops by ambiguous critical impulse and also contradictory - the continuous reprocessing of a specific language which lives together the expectations of break itself up in the real world-, the contemporary look is fruit of simultaneous breakdown and reassessment of that impulse. Here, contemporary art is not regarded as the most recent art, but like the one which the own logic of the modernist overcoming is artistic presented in a critical plan. The appearence of contemporary sense signals into modern space are realized close to practice of collage and in ready-made production. Characterized by a present private sense and by critical look on the art condition, the contemporary faces art/world and shape/idea relationships, conditions often take to extreme opposite sides or confused with modernist overcoming process.
