It is increasingly difficult to speak of «art» in the singular, because its specificity as a medium, as well as the boundaries that separated the artistic object from other objects, disappeared. Speaking of the “arts”, in the plural, corresponds to recognizing that, in contemporary times, the arts have escaped the categories and codes that delimited them, at the same time they have spread throughout the experience. The reasons for this are multiple, namely technological and cultural. The apprehension of this phenomenon involves, firstly, understanding the place of art in modernity and its subsequent trajectories, from modernism and the avant-gardes to what is conventionally called post-avant- garde. Secondly, it is necessary to map the main forms of contemporary art, paying special attention to the way in which they broke and/or extended their historical scope.
