Concept and Mission

There are no limits to art or to thinking about art. However, art is contextual. The meaning of art reveals itself best through a thorough consideration of contextual elements: These contextual
elements include the work of art itself, the artist, the technical conditions, political and aesthetic currents and approaches, the economic basis, etc. Local knowledge can only be useful insofar as it opens a door to universal virtue. Therefore, all information compiled on local examples must address theoretical and practical questions related to the raison d'être of art.

Akdeniz Sanat is a peer-reviewed journal whose editorial identity is based on the above-mentioned idea. The journal publishes academic articles on all topics focusing on art. The main aim is to contribute to the accumulation of artistic knowledge. In this process, studies that will contribute to the development of artistic research are prioritized.
