    Encountering a site-specific work of art : concerning the relationship between image and memory in the conceptual framework of Walter Benjamin
    (2003) Kaptan, Başak
    This thesis derives from the dual relationship of image and memory in Walter Benjamin’s texts on literature and art criticism. This relationship is conveyed to sitespecific art and analyzed in terms of space and time. As a consequence of this comparative study, the role of the reader/viewer is discussed and for the account of his/her encounter, a possible experience between perception and recollection is proposed. As a documentation of the proposed experience, a sitespecific artwork is produced and presented.

    Performing the body : a corporeal site
    (2003) Yücel, Erdem
    This thesis documents a process through which the body was realized as it exceeds its formal unity and becomes integrated with the space. It includes works of art produced during the process. Concepts of vision and figure are contemplated in relation with body and space. Arte Povera and artists associated with the movement are studied within the framework of ‘site-specificity’ and ‘performance’. Assimilation into space is exemplified through phenomena. Islamic ornamentation is studied in accordance with the concepts of ‘gaze’ and ‘screen’. A work of art is proposed as a conclusion of the process.
