SKIN + BONES: PARALLEL PRACTICES IN FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE

Pardon the derail, but is there a difference between modern and contemporary art? Are they the same thing?

My understanding is that modern art covers the late 1800s through the 1960s and contemporary art takes you from the end of the '60s to current.

No idea, though, if that is a hard line observed in contemporary or modern art museums.

Given the title, I expected a discussion of anorexic building practices!
