THE CONTEXT OF SPACE AND OBJECT IN POSTMODERN ART: TWO TURKISH WOMAN ARTISTS
Abstract
Postmodern art movements primarily began in America and some European countries in the 1960s as a result of the process whereby the artist, an individual in the first place, having been affected by the great social events of the day, began to reflect his personal ideas in his works. The object of art, having gone through many changes in the history of art, is considered together with place as sculpture combined with place and the painting freed itself from flat surface in the postmodern era. In this respect, concept of place is aimed to analyze in different perspectives and its relation with the art object is made clear with examples. The two Turkish artists considered in this study are Hale Tenger and Ayşe Erkmen. Both artists used place as the primary element in their works, but they utilize the space by the means of fictioning as to the new context. In these contexts, Erkmen mentioned the sociological issues by the public spaces turning into the art objects and benefited from the sociologic historical informations. On the other hand Tenger gained advantage individual historical informations, controversies like male-female, death-life and inside-outside, preferred to attract and make the people shock by the way of using odour, lightness and motion of the space and adding these effects to the head meaning.
