Examination of the transformative, spatial and relational characteristics of contemporary art in the context of the concept of reflexivity

This dissertation, which essentially describes the author's paradigm of art, is a discussion of art that emerged in the possibility of reflexivity. In the study, the relational structure of the Art field, which is perceived from the reflexive point of view, is analyzed and its characteristics are revealed. The obligatory relationship of art with the concepts of transformation, spatiality and relationality, determined from this perspective, is examined. During the examination, it is aimed to make the argumentation verifiable by methodically coordinating the disciplines of Art, Science and Philosophy. In this context, the study, which comprehends the work of art as a meaningful object/activity, considers the artistic activity as a configuration. Thus, by associating the art practice, which is thought to be shaped around the artwork, with the concepts of 'meaning' and 'context'; It is argued that artistic activity should be interpreted as a process in which the act of transformation, space and relationality are designed together. Instead of the artist as the producer of art in terms of being a form of knowledge, art habitus is suggested in the context of the social-collective production of knowledge and field practices, on the other hand, it is claimed that the actors of the Art field should create a reflexive art habitus.
