    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Şimşek, Cansu Nur; Şimşek, Cansu Nur; Selen, Eser; Selen, Eser; Visual Communication Design
    This study is an analysis of the reconceptualization of cultural heritage via its display by contemporary art practices. Through the proposed title the understanding of heritage is reframed as an experience which is intertemporal, inter-generational, and ephemeral, that creates in-between spaces. In the first chapter heritage, today is assessed with a conclusion as to let heritage to define itself can be possible by the artistic ways of looking, displaying and also preserving the idea of heritage. Chapter Two approaches heritage both as a performance and experience while the linear perception of time is criticized by referring to the concept of contemporariness. The merging of the past, present, and future imagination is explained with mnemonic time engineering model. In the scope of Istanbul, displaying heritage have been practiced through the usage of heritage spaces for temporary contemporary art exhibitions mostly by the Istanbul Biennials. In the Chapter Three, displaying heritage and contemporary art in tandem is read as a method for alternating the spaces of exhibitions. Therefore, the conventional exhibiting methods of the art galleries, museums and biennials are also analysed. In Chapter Four, the spatial experience “Water Soul” (2015) and the practices of an art collective Oddviz and their works from the “Inventory” (2018) exhibition are analysed under the concept of displaying heritage today. In the final chapter the study is concluded that heritage today can be reconceptualized by the decentralized, and the multi-media-based gaze of art today, by allowing it to be able to define itself in a way that it cannot be adapted, stereotyped or forgotten.
