In this article, some of these kind of expressions have been exemplified by examining their meanings on the aspects of Western and Eastern philosophy, definition and creativity of art. From Nietzsche's point of view, the productive artist is not more capable or superior than the artist who chooses not to produce. Because a moral or intellectual reason underlying the artist's preference not to produce may be strong enough to overcome the desire to produce. These artists have made art liberated from its definition, meaning and objectivity by not restricting their presentation with any form or sound system. At this point emptiness have been presenting to the audience by emphasizing more than an absence of fullness, non-existent can be perceived aesthetically as well as existing. Therefore the meaning of the image can become more important than the existence of the object, even the work of art is not exist objectively, its meaning in the mind exists. Thus, the audience is faced with the situation of going on a mental journey towards their essence by confronting nothingness or emptiness. Void in art is a concept that is more than the absence of any artwork and needs to be considered and discussed. In addition, what happens after the presentation of nothingness in art is an another matter of discussion.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessContemporary ArtNothingnessSpaceArticle399238411WOS:000737195800011N/A
