In this paper I wish to examine the effects of collective memory on artworks. The very recent history of Turkey have been an impact on art world. Everyday we come across with new terms, new ideas, new regulations. These "new" issues affect our lives directly, hence what we create as an artwork. This recent history of Turkey, has many "new"s that we can not remember every detail. For every individual the importance of every event differs according to his or her memory. In this circumstances collective memory is important to create our own history and for not to forget. Collective memory can be defined as the memory of social group. Individual memory can be supported by the outside remembrance in order to compose memory that the person did not witnessed. Because of interaction of individuals played significant role in order to create history, this interaction mirrored to art as well.
