Abstract. The study of intermediary spaces within the visual arts system has allowed for a refinement of the model of the visual arts system, created in analogy to the semiosphere and biosphere, both in its internal content and in the area of its boundaries, and partially in its interrelation with other semiotic systems. The choice of cultural turns was made through the lens of the translational turn: categories such as «communication», «heritage/memory», «complex of related texts», «role of the viewer», «role of the artwork», «space of relationships», «transformation/transfiguration», and «reproduction» were identified, each of which served as the starting point in the selection of the corresponding turn. The intermediary spaces of the visual arts system, explored through various turns, emerged as a crucial part of this system, and thus became marked by the figure of the intermediary. Analysis of the various types of structuring of intermediary spaces allowed for a detailed description of the functions of the intermediary through the prism of each chosen cultural turn. These functions formed a comprehensive picture of the intermediary’s activities in the visual arts system, and also revealed unique features of the intermediary’s functioning specific to this system. This sequence, from the analysis of structural elements to the analysis of practical activities, corresponds to contemporary approaches in the study of cultural processes.

Keywords: Cultural turn, intermediary, space of interaction, artistic culture, visual arts.
