Özet:

This study delves into Installation Art in Turkish Plastic Arts post-1980, focusing on the

multifaceted concept of “space” in both its visual and conceptual dimensions. It elucidates

how the political, social, and economic factors, whose groundwork was laid in the 1960s

and 70s in Turkey, marked a pivotal juncture in the realm of Plastic Arts and delineated the

national and international stature of Turkish Plastic Art. The study identifies the catalysts

behind seminal turning points in Plastic Arts and the resultant formations they incited, as

well as their contributions to the bedrock of social and cultural memory.
