Summary/Abstract: This study deals with the articulation of popular culture or mass culture to the experience of consumption and how this experience generates the art. In this era, culture becomes a commodity in the course of industrial production, and art which is one of the main components of culture turns into kitsch art. In this cultural trend, human beings who submit themselves to uniform existence desire same commodity, and art is unearthed from its place.
