Exhibition - VVČSKSU
Hověžáková, Ilona ; Janečková,, Zuzana (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
The objective of this thesis draws on my experience acquired during the internship in Galeria De Arte Servando in Havana, where I have been given the opportunity to learn about Cuban culture as well as to witness the restrictions and difficulties in gallery activities due to the communist government. The first part of the thesis focuses on historical facts highlighting the art exchange between Czechoslovakia and Cuba, a common part of running the state institution in the past. It was a common practice both in Havana´s House of Czechoslovak Culture and in the House of Cuban Culture in Prague. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, both houses were closed and the Czechoslovak-Cuban relations in art and culture have never been restored. The study subsequently discusses the concept and realization of the exhibition prepared in collaboration with Cuban curator Yenisel Osuna Morales. The aim of the thesis is to try to initiate a dialogue between two countries, Cuba and the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia), countries with many differences, and probably even estranged nowadays. However, their relations were warm before, and they could be in many ways an inspiration. The primary outcome of this thesis is the exhibition project aimed at the topic of censorship in independent art, its influence on gallery activities and freedom of artistic expression in Cuba. The selection of cuban artists carried out by curator Yenisel Osuna Morales represents the topic of pluriculturalism, migration and diaspora. By means of exhibition exchange, I would like to refer to the terminated friendship between Cuba and former Czechoslovakia in the field of art. The purpose of these exhibitions is not only to present Czech contemporary art in Cuba but also to present Cuban art in the Czech Republic without any restrictions.

The didactic section presents an application of these topics to the elementary school Art Education.

Theory of absence in contemporary Czech art
Janů, Valentýna ; Havránek, Vít (advisor) ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (referee)
In my thesis, I focus mainly on the concept of absent in Czech contemporary art. I am trying, using examples of singular pieces, artists and (overal) projects, to examine current art scene and it’s resource. Considering the historical and artistic context, I am searching for the continuous fascination with the subject of void and analysing the strategies neccessary for it’s possible artistic application.
