Invisible Layers of Settling Dust
Hrúziková, Petra ; Veselá, Lenka (referee) ; Janů, Valentýna (advisor)
The diploma thesis "Invisible Layers of Settling Dust" dissects the myth of cleanliness and dirt together with a parallel of civilization diseases and public health through the medium of household chores and cleaning. The space installation provides a way of thinking about the collective body as a plurality of identity - it counts on the variability of meanings, with processes of disconnecting and reconnecting the collective body always anew. Drawing from the philosophical concepts of many authors, this work offers one of the possibilities of their interpretation in an exhibition space, with its condition being the creation of a unique situation consisting of the presence of bodies shedding the coherence of their own identity and creating temporary micro-identities.

Isle of rats on the edge of rest area
Urbančok, Robert ; Maxmilián, Václav (referee) ; Janů, Valentýna (advisor)
In a work entitled Isle of rats on the edge of rest area, I process memories of childhood educational coercion into an environment that embodies the psychic space of experiencing one's position within the educational construct of parental expectations in an attempt to model the young person's personality through the politics of sport. Learning in the isolated and empathically emptied space of the tennis court, in a system of definitive rules, relationships and values based on a one-way construction of victory over failure, propagating active lifestyles and healthy bodies as a modern individualist religion, maintaining selective socialisation, limiting intuition, creativity and stigmatising otherness in order to class-legitimise personal growth and the representation of one's social position - at the expense of denying one's own identity. Through the appropriation of materials and the aesthetics of the tennis court, I create a space for the curiosity of these repressed childhood memories brought into the present, where I attempt to reflect on them, name the vague feelings, and internally come to terms with them.

The diploma thesis formally consists of a mosaic of outputs across the media. It contains a set of videos, a set of embroidered pieces of clothing and a set of hand-drawn, subjective maps, all supplemented and accompanied by drawings, watercolors, texts, objects and audio. Thematically, the work has two layers. First, it deals with the reflection of (my) selected hobbies that relate to specific ideas about nature and landscape. These hobbies are divided into three thematic areas named Emo Maps, The Cowboy Spectrum, and Bio Tops. In the second layer, the work is a critical reflection on the use of hobby strategies in art work, as one of the last available ways to create in times of permanent crises.

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.
