MOCA GA Site Visit I visited MoCA GA today and met Lisa Throwes who was more than helpful on multiple levels. She is the Manager of Collections at the museum and we exchanged contact information. It was agreed that I would continue research alone after we couldn't find specific articles that phone conversation with Martha Brenner had said existed. The Museum as an archive of all articles about museum and ArtPapers magazine. I also received a printed list of various articles that I could find myself. I performed a Mini-interview in which she said later in semester that I could perhaps speak to the Museum Director who had helped start MoCA GA and lived her whole life in Atlanta and been an Atlanta artist herself. Lisa also discussed the recent deaths of many "later" generation artist and the present effects of the recent generation. We also discussed the CEDA (sp) grants that Andy Warhol and other past artist have received and the government leaning away from the monetary support for artists. This has changed the present generations approach. Many become teachers and support themselves while doing art in their free time. We also discussed intellectual property and other things. I am very excited and Lisa Throwes seemed very excited a well. She offered to help me find other artists and such. Contact me for any information on how to reach her.

Webliography - beginning stages Wikipedia - The term contemporary art encompasses all art being done now. It tends to include any art made from around the 1960s to the present, or after the end of the modern art period. The use of the literal adjective "contemporary" to define this period in art history is due to the lack of any recognized or dominant form or genre of art as recognized by artists or art historians and critics. The period of art since modernism is also sometimes called postmodern art, but as postmodernism refers to an approach or paradigm that many contemporary artists do not operate from, "contemporary" may be preferred as a more inclusive adjective.
