On the role of collaborations in contemporary art

Abstract

The article discusses the essence of the concepts and phenomena of ‘creative industries’ and ‘art collaborations’, which determine a significant vector in the development of modern culture and art. The special role in the actualization of creative industries as a combination of creativity and high technology explains their relevance in the field of contemporary art, as well as the significance of its design forms with collective authorship. Specific examples show that creative partnership in the field of culture and art, carried out with the aim of creating and jointly promoting projects, becomes a tool for expanding the modern cultural space. The social and economic return of the conglomeration of different areas of human activity is emphasized, which, as a result, expands the concept of synthesis in the field of presented arts. The substantiation of the special role of art collaborations in the process of increasing and rejuvenating the target audiences involved in the field of art in general and academic music in particular is given. A number of art collaborative projects carried out by Russian concert organizations are analyzed, as well as examples of works initiated and implemented thanks to the creative and technological approach are given. This allows us to identify two vectors in the development of creative industries: design and organizational, aimed at creating new formats for presenting art, enlightenment and economic profitability; design and creative, associated with the creation of experimental works of art on the basis of art collaborations and modern technologies, opening up the horizons of the art of the future.
