Sanatsal Bir Oyun: Sıradan Olanı Görünür Kılmak

Abstract

“An Artistic Game: Making the Ordinary Visible” is basically based on the permanentization of forms arising from the deviation or encounter of two elements. These encounters, expressed as forms or experiences of incompatibility, are initially associated with the state of being close to the field of death with confusion, ruptures and disintegrations as the expression of inner distress in the countryside. In the first section, which we read together with Georges Bataille's concept of “formless”, the traces left by the tapes on the surface present a new universe with the coming together of independent pieces on the canvas surface. These works are followed by works created with tapes that are cut, torn, dismantled from the context they belong to and reassembled in relation to the montage technique. With the tapes, the process of discovering the extraordinary in an ordinary object turns into works in which the leftover parts of the canvases, the parts that are seen as surplus, are utilized. Based on Felix Guattari's question “how do you make a classroom operate like a work of art?”, this section, which is based on the idea that art is reshaped by the teacher in the classroom like an artist working on predictable materials, is combined with works in which students reassemble the parts that should be thrown out, which are seen as dysfunctional surpluses. In this thesis, the first lesson after enrolling in the proficiency in art program is taken as the starting point, and a process is traced from works in which independent parts come together to examples in which teachers and students come together as heterogeneous elements, existing forms of education and art are suspended, artistic practice is combined with teaching, and a classroom as a common space is reshaped through art.
