Abstract: This article, through the example of the contemporary expositions, reveals the principles of creation of the special art environment in the exhibition space. The author notices that the creation of exposition spaces becomes a special form of design activity. These spaces are perceived by a person as contemporary art products, as object of understanding, research and study in the during the dialogue between a person, space and an exhibit. It is supposed that one of the basic conditions for creation of the special art space is interaction between the art space and an exhibit, where architectural space and an exhibit are in harmony and compositional unity, and act as a single organism. It is also mentioned that if there is good interaction between the space and an exhibit, a visitor would better expose into the art space. The article features the factor of inclusion of a visitor into the programme of the exhibition as a participant of an event, when the communication between a visitor and a designer is carried out through the language of objects and image of the space, created by a designer, an organizer or a curator with the help of the modern means of influence on a visitor. Besides, the author considers the exposition of the modern exhibition as a dialogue with the art, through which a person thinks of an object of art and receives emotional experience. The author concludes that finding himself in the contemporary art exhibition, which is considered to be a special art world, a visitor receives new knowledge and enlarges the limits of perception.
