Modern and experimental (5-5)

I believe the answer is:

avant-garde

(Other definitions for avant-garde that I've seen before include "Experimental (art)" , "New and experimental" , "In the arts, radically new and daring" , "Daringly innovative or unconventional" , "Radical - daring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
