One of the particularities of modern art is the trend that art exists not as art per se but as art about art. One example of this is "Urinal". which is comprehensible even if not seen. The recent trend, however, demands that the work which is made by the artist himself has to be seen and to be conceptualized later. The trend appears to have had its derivation in the virtual desintegration of space intrinsic to positive expression. Not having any purpose, it might be called "objective contradiction." The work finds its expression in space as a portion rather than a unified entity.
