Sanat ve İktidar Üzerine Görsel Eleştiriler

Abstract

The starting point of the concept of power, which is the essence of the research, was formed as a result of the effects of the chaos in our country and the successive explosions. The traces left by these events have led me not to do further research on art and power, and as a result of these researches to produce a series of works in the context of plastic arts.

The owners of power who have effective power in historical processes have caused many wars, violence, discrimination, bullying, othering and massacres. The reason for these massacres stems from the power struggle. The concept of power, which means meanings such as power, power, comes into existence in many structures such as knowledge, talent, status, economy, religion and sexuality that create personality characteristics of the society starting from bilateral human relations. The rulers provide this power with force, terrorization, intimidation, suppression, symbolic or physical violence.

In this research, the effects of power structures on the society and the individual are examined in the context of plastic arts. In addition, concepts such as migration, identity, race, gender and the other, which emerged as a result of the policies implemented by the structures of power, have been examined together with the works of post-modern artists. Furthermore, in the research, artistic reflections of the traces left on me in the post-1980 world and today's events take place along with the analysis of practice studies.
