Abstract

Art is an ancient human activity that is likely to appear everywhere around life, and art has close ties with culture, which is the product of all other human activities. All societies want to leave a mark. The construction of permanent memory has been one of the most important concerns of all societies throughout history. All societies have benefited from the extraordinary power of art in order to maintain their existence and share their consciousness with future generations. Because art is a creation process that is affected by all the accumulation and conditions of the society and geography in which it is created. Therefore, each work of art carries the codes of that society. In this study, the relationship between art and memory was tried to be examined conceptually through space. How the will to leave a trace affects the space with the act of artistic creation and the effect of human architecture and construction actions on the existence of art are discussed through a conceptual dialectic. In particular, an intensive literature review was made on the concepts of space and place, and new interpretations were tried to be made on the concepts of art, space and memory, based on the inferences made from this scan, and as a result of all these, a new space classification was made in terms of the perception of art. Regardless of the time period, it has been concluded that the connection between the artist and the audience and the main place of art is the mind.
