Medinsky explained what contemporary art is

The Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky believes that only such a contemporary art that the majority can count on state support.

“Why do contemporary art we understand exclusively something incomprehensible, clumsy, up to a pile of brick, which is the installation financed from the state budget?”, The minister said today, on October 9, at the Council of the Organizing Committee for the Culture in Russia, RIA Novosti reports.

“I would pay attention to the fact that contemporary art is all that is done today. If classical music is composed, it is also contemporary art, if cinema is shot - it is also contemporary art, the performances of Dodin, Ephmann is also contemporary art, ”Medinsky explained.
