Contextual Art
Contextual Art refers to artworks that are created with a specific context in mind, often responding to the environment, culture, or social issues surrounding them. This form of art emphasizes the relationship between the artwork and its setting, encouraging viewers to consider the broader implications of the piece.
Artists often use various mediums, including installations, performances, and community projects, to engage audiences in dialogue. Notable examples include the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who created large-scale installations that transformed landscapes, and Banksy, whose street art often comments on political and social themes.
