Vivays Publishing: Beyond Contemporary Art

New Book on Contemporary Art by Etan Ilfeld: Beyond Contemporary Art

Beyond Contemporary art explores an international group of artists whose diverse creative practises over the last decade have been instrumental in the development of the contemporary art world. The vibrant contemporary art scene is one of constant expansion and innovation, where artists are continually reinventing themselves and dissolving boundaries in artistic disciplines. Etan Jonathan Ilfeld provides an illuminating introduction which discusses the development of international art fairs, the growth of graffiti and street art as well as the technological advancements which have enabled the creation of iPhone art apps, virtual reality, synthetic biology and computer art.

This visually stunning and accessible book emphasises the increased hybridization of the art world, which spans disciplines ranging from science, design and architecture to new media, filmmaking and performance art.
