The problem of boundaries and margins in contemporary art

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses concepts of boundaries and margins in the field of contemporary art. Their horizontal relation is compared to the vertical model of mainlines and margins in traditional arts. In this context, some interpretations of contemporary art works frequent in Lithuanian art criticism, particularly those of interdisciplinary creation and the "marginalization" of site-specific works are discussed. Interdisciplinary approaches and creative strategies of art in the post-medium condition are distinguished. Due to conceptual deterritorialization of the notion of site in Post-modernism, site-specific works are articulated in the post-medium art context, avoiding the reconstruction of the boundary breaking model typical of Late Modernism. The analysis is based on the theoretical insight into the development of contemporary art in the 2nd half of the 20th c., following the transformation of late modern strategies into postmodern ones.
