Fourteenth International Conference on the Arts in Society

Abstract

Today, the context in which a work of art moves away from traditional approaches and begins to incorporate new strategies has created a need to offer new categories, classifications, titles or definitions regarding art and site relationships. Artists now attempt to create a communicational approach aiming to reinterpret and revive the site or develop a new identity for it in line with different goals and objectives. Discovering the contextual structures within the variety of works can be related to the hybrid position of current art practices. Evaluating the hybrid works and experimental formats which are the products of an interdisciplinary structure in terms of practice methods and strategies, depends on studying the correspondence of ideas between various positions. The aim of this study is to analyse the position of new alternatives for site-related art and question in what context a work of art should be evaluated. By doing so, this study highlights the current statements on multifaceted approaches in site-specific art benefiting from the artists’ own experiences and the cases they themselves witness.
