Мистецькі практики в контексті культури

Abstract

The article outlines the role of art in the context of culture. It is noted that it is constantly changing. The development of art is determined by various political, ideological, economic, and technological factors. Worldview and religious components that determine the theme and nature of artistic practices play an equally important role. The emergence of technologies affects the emergence of new types of art or changes in existing ones. Moreover, the level of technological innovation is extremely different. On the one hand, the appearance of other paints is possible, which will affect the use of a different surface, change the nature of strokes, and the duration of preservation of the finished art product. On the other hand, the formation of certain innovations in technologies can become a reason for a global change not only in the external, but also in the design features of products. The change of art, the appearance of new types and styles is also accompanied by the genre transformation of already existing works. If we trace the functioning of artistic practices in the context of culture, it can be noted that priority was given to those that had a synthetic nature. The appeal to various senses became a guarantee of audience interest. The spectacle took various forms in human history, from the first syncretic acts to full-fledged theatrical performances. In this series, such musical and theatrical genres as opera and ballet, later operetta, musical, rock opera, etc., were formed. Their functioning was due to the growing need to create more effective and fashionable forms. Even long before the emergence of the postmodern worldview, the process of adapting genres to the needs of society took place. It was accompanied by a number of transformations of works from one genre to another. This process has a permanent character, because art reflects everything that happens in society. At the same time, it is ambivalently aimed at other cultural factors, because art influences the formation of a new worldview, often determines the vector of economic development, etc. Artistic practices cannot exist separately from other cultural components. Being a tool of propaganda or acting as a recorder of historical events, art has a significant level of involvement, in which the freedom of the artist is quite relative. Therefore, art should be considered not only as a certain self-value that exists by itself, but as part of a single process of human development.
