Abstract
In some of the new arts, the place where the artwork is displayed becomes a dynamic space in which the audience interacts more with the artwork. An examination of the symposium of Adobe sculpture in Yazd invites the audiences to challenge for a new comprehension of Yazd's historical monuments in addition to displaying the cultural and climatic features of Yazd. These Artworks can be defined in the Site-specific art category because the Artworks and their place of presentation convey the meaning of the work together. Site-specific art is a type of art whose nature is tied to the form and meaning of the place where it is located. A significant feature of sculpture art is its general nature. The city has been linked to art as a place of presentation in The Symposium of Adobe sculpture. The cultural nature of Yazd is evident in the sculptures. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the public domain of Yazd city as a place of performing The Symposium of Adobe sculpture and the nature of these Artworks. The question posed in the research is how location affects the characteristics of an Artwork. The result of the examination of the components of Site-specific art shows that it corresponds many of the features of The Symposium of Adobe sculpture. The artist can transform existing living spaces into interactive platforms by combining new types of art in urban spaces and shaping the actions and reactions of audiences and places.
