Mehmet Ali Uysal explains that to convert the ideology of the space perceived as a “white cube”, one must interfere with its structure. Gallery spaces possess a nature that continuously erasetraces of its history. In order to look perfect, evidenceof experience are destroyed each time. These spaces have a sterile and untouched feel to them. This imposes a distance between the space and the visitor. Mehmet Ali Uysal’s claim that the gallery space is a living entity, required him to emphasize these features. Thus, with the interventions to the gallery walls he revives the space as a living entity. Each space transforms into a living organism and bearing witness to this, one can also perceive it as an artworks.

For Uysal, this act of anti-historicalness gives the white cube a sterile character, which he believes is one reason for the gap between gallery and visitor. The artist breaks through this sterility and, as he understands the gallery space as a living entity, revives it as a living entity.(…)”
