What is contemporary?

After our discussion on the Charlotte Cotton text I continued to think about the term 'contemporary' and what it actually means?  And what qualities need to be included in a piece of work for it to be classed as contemporary? 

WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY?!?!

- Can't put a specific date or time on it.
- Is contemporary a movement?
Also, if a new creation is made now does it have to be called a contemporary piece of work or can it not fit into this classification? 

CONTEMPORARY DOES...
- Challenge conventions
- Break rules and boundaries
- Reject traditional ways?
- Something that is different.
- Could be classed as ''cutting edge''
