"In the art of Mehmet Ali Uysal space is the key factor. To him the exhibition space is an inseparable part of his installations. The works of Mehmet Ali Uysal analyze the artist's creative process in connection with the space and time, connecting art and context. In his works the space around the art is discovered and become part of it, leaving a mere limitation. The place of work is the reason and cause of the same work, is materia, form and content. The context becomes the content." http://www.artdiscover.com/en/artists/mehmet-ali-uysal-id2879 "Mehmet Ali Uysal’s works explore the relationship between artwork and gallery space, manipulating both common everyday objects as well as the gallery space itself, probing our understanding of dimensions, perspective and our surroundings.
