Abstract: The creation of contemporary art is increasingly emphasizing the intervention in society.It uses sociological methods to explore sociological problems,showing a clear sociological turn.In the process,the artist became a social creator and became more and more like sociologists;their work was based on projects and plans;they created their work according to the method of fieldwork.Although the sociological turn of contemporary arts creation has become obvious,the unique status of artists cannot be replaced by sociologists,because they are committed to exploring the fit between ideas and forms.This reveals that artists can widely learn the sociological ideas,and combine this with their profound grasp of the forms to create their work.
