Cultural centrism of contemporary artistic space: features of communication processes

The article is devoted to the analysis of the communicative processes taking place in the modern artistic space. The article considers the concept of cultural centrism, which has become widespread in modern Russian humanities. It is shown that culture, with its inherent “eternal” questions and values, and constantly emerging new problems and changing realities, is becoming the main object of close and interested attention of contemporary artists. The analysis of the main forms and models of artistic communication is undertaken, it is shown that their dynamics are closely related to the general transformations of socio-cultural realities. It is concluded that the predominance of the dialogical, nonlinear, multidirectional – interactive model over the translational monological, linear, unidirectional model has been established in the communicative space of modern culture. The author adheres to a broad understanding of dialogue, polylogue and transgression are considered as its variants with their own specifics, which reflect new cultural and artistic realities. To test the theoretical approaches, a fairly extensive empirical material is used, and the range of artistic techniques used in modern art practice is considered. The actualization of existential issues through its immersion in the thickness of cultural meanings is the end-to-end dominant of modern art. The cultural centrism of the modern art space creates the opportunity to pass through the entire experience of human culture in order to comprehend one’s own individual existence.
