Why to speak again of the avant-guard?
Abstract
The question of the relevance of the avant-garde is close to the problem of formation of aesthetic discourse adequate to the context of contemporary Russian and Western art. The article highlighted the conceptual and historical understanding of the avant-garde, as making theoretical basis to mark and define the boundaries and intentions of contemporary art. The concept of the avant-garde works today in the framework of ready-made, similar to described by Thierry de Duve: if ready-made “as an art” allows to include in the field of modern art all everyday facts, the ready-made “as an avant-guard” creates a situation of aesthetic events beyond art, reconceptualizing the history of art and changing the vectors direction.
