Sanatta Mekânın Yeni Deneyimi: James Turrell

2020, Journal of Turkish Studies

In the modern period, art expression does not have a single form, it has become interdisciplinary. In this context, new experiences shaped by the unity of art and design fields and the contribution of science increase. With the rise of contemporary art, space plays an important role in these new forms of production and expression, offering different experiences to the viewer. The aim of this study is to convey the works of James Turrell, one of the artists working on the subjects of color-light-space, as well as expressions of contemporary art. As a methodology, descriptive research was used in this study, the literatüre was reviewed and the data were evaluated by using qualitative analysis method. As a result of the researches, Turrell's works, especially with the effect of both art, design and science, were examined and important examples created by the use of space, light and color were emphasized. Turrell creates new spaces by emphasizing the interaction of nature with art in his works and offers the audience new experiences of the space with the effects he creates with light and color in these spaces. His work becomes an art that is not only watched but also lived. Thus, new experiences of space are offered in the interaction of art and design. Space has ceased to be an element of art and shows a different form of expression as art itself. This approach, which is one of the examples of interdisciplinary interaction, reveals the art of James Turrell as one of the expressions of art. With this research, it is aimed to guide new studies to be created in an interdisciplinary understanding of art.
