The article, based on the theoretical review of scholarly and expert literature in the field of contemporary art, the cultural-historical and formal-stylistic analysis of artworks, as well as on the basis of interviews with contemporary Russian artists, analyses the recent experience of creation of new practices of action and creative youth communities, which in turn change the wider social environment. The results are considered as a development of the concept of neostructuration with an emphasis on the field of culture, including the motivational factors and effects of agentic behavior typical for contemporary art. The authors conclude that the field of art manifests special mechanisms through which individual proactive action can transform the world and generate paths for positive social and cultural change. Contemporary art can not only raise socially significant topics and pose questions, but also show possible paths for the development of global processes.
