Contextual art

Contextual art refers to artworks that are heavily influenced by their surroundings, including physical, social, and historical contexts. This type of art often aims to engage with specific locations or community issues, emphasizing the relationship between the artwork and its environment. Rather than standalone pieces, contextual art invites viewers to consider the broader significance and implications of the art in relation to where and how it is presented. By doing so, it fosters a deeper understanding of both the artwork and its impact on the audience and community.
