Abstract
Contemporary art, also referred to as postmodern art, is a movement concerned with the way art is made and with the immediate effects it has on its spectators. The word “spectator” is used instead of “viewer of the world”, because postmodern art resembles a theatre. Here, the concept of time is often changed in subtle ways, which finds analogies in the questioning of the role and character of time in recent developments in theoretical physics.
