Course Content:
Public art serves as a means of preserving and enhancing artistic and urban value while fostering positive communication and interaction between people and their environments in urban spaces. It encourages individuals to use and enjoy public spaces and represents the reintegration of art into public life. The course explores how public art enables interaction between artists and audiences in everyday settings, encouraging viewers to become more aware of their surroundings.
Topics include the role of galleries and museums as artistic institutions within contemporary art, the emergence of artworks in public spaces, and the analysis and discussion of selected examples. The course also examines post-Dada and Marcel Duchamp processes in art, including Performance Art, Happening, Land Art, Body Art, Feminist Art, and Earth Art — focusing on how art interacts with its environment and society. Additionally, international urban art events such as biennials that utilize the city and public space are studied.
Course Objective:
Public art has increasingly been incorporated into urban planning as part of urban renewal projects aimed at creating a sense of place and spatial identity. Through this integration, it has been observed that art leaves a more lasting impression on urban memory. As an element that evokes emotions, stimulates the senses, and captures attention, public art enables individuals to establish a relationship with their surroundings and to define and experience the spaces they inhabit.

Course Content:
Conceptual Art, as a form of production that prioritizes the idea over aesthetic concerns, is an intellectual act of thinking about art itself. The course explores how the critical questioning of “what art is” could not be achieved through traditional and established methods, leading to the emergence of Conceptual Art as a reaction against formalist approaches. As an “art of ideas,” Conceptual Art developed through diverse forms of expression and new formations, continuing its influence to the present day. The course examines how the conceptualization of traditional art forms such as painting and sculpture has been shaped by this intellectual shift.
Course Objective:
Conceptual Art emerged in the 1960s as a new artistic perspective that abandoned the depiction of objects and foregrounded the role of thought. The aim of this course is to analyze art on a theoretical level, emphasizing conceptual thinking over material form, and to encourage critical reflection and redefinition of the meaning and purpose of art. Another objective is to explore how students can develop original modes of artistic expression through the practice of Conceptual Art.
