The dissertation is devoted to the identification of existing strategies of interpretation of contemporary art, which are important for revealing the peculiarities of philosophical understanding of contemporary art.The purpose of the dissertation was to reveal the multidimensional methodology of contemporary art research. In the dissertation the problematic circle of researches of contemporary art is outlined, it is interpreted taking into account the general existing tendencies of cognitive and cultural practices development. The explication of the contemporary characteristics of contemporary art made it possible to outline a methodology for understanding it. It is related to "hermeneutic universalism" and the principle of contingency of contemporary art. The thesis introduces the theoretical construct of the "strategy of interpretation of contemporary art", presented as a transdisciplinary multidimensional creation of discourses of philosophy, art, politics, which is formed under the conditions of institutional mechanisms embossing existence. The specificity of the author's terminological construct of the "strategy for the interpretation of contemporary art" is transdiscursive and multidimensional; it appears as an intersection of philosophical, artistic, political discourses; it finds its power under the influence of specific socio-cultural and institutional circumstances. It is not so much a fact of synthesis or a stable composition of discourses, but of the actuality of their intersection; contingent "formation", i.e. "product" of many accidental collisions and combinations. The introduction of the "strategy for the interpretation of contemporary art" as a terminological construct made possible to specify the influence of post-classical methodologies on contemporary art and its perception.
