ROOSEUM CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ART contemporary art, the art of the late 20th cent. and early 21st cent., both an outgrowth and a rejection of modern art. As the force and vigor of abstract expressionism diminished, new artistic movements and styles arose during the 1960s and 70s to challenge and displace modernism in painting, sculpture, and other media. 

Under director Charles Esche and deputy director Asa Nacking, southern Sweden's best-known institution for contemporary art is undergoing a radical change. This spring, a series of "proposals, architectural performances, and music happenings" will engage the Rooseum's multifarious multifarious adj., adv. reference to a lawsuit in which either party or various causes of action (claims based on different legal theories) are improperly joined together in the same suit. This is more commonly called "misjoinder." (See: misjoinder) spaces, concluding with the new management's first show, "Vi"--Swedish for we--based on the notion of "intentional community" (i.e., a social group who agree to follow rules independent of the state). Documentary materials relating to communes will mingle with installations by artists like Johanna Billing, Annika Eriksson, Jakob Kolding Kolding (kôl`dĭng), city (1992 pop. 45,514), Vejle co., S central Denmark, a port on Kolding Fjord, an arm of the Lille Bælt.
