Alternative and new ways of costume design
Rybáková, Simona ; MATÁSEK, Petr (advisor) ; PTÁČKOVÁ, Věra (referee)
This work is aiming to show costume designing as an essential artistic field of today which surpasses limits of applied arts or mere decoration in an effort of emancipation.It talks about the specific characteristics of this field and how it surpasses into other domains and it opens chapters which I deemed significant to my topic. The text outlines my professional career as costume designer to my pedagogic and finally to my organisational curator?s experience. I describe how I enrich the basic practical and empirical education with an emphasis on the artistic way of expression with more theoretical and analytical abilities. The latter is documented mainly with the exhibition ?Extreme costume? in PQ 2011.An important part is the vocabulary of some rather technical terms; it is very liquid and constantly changing. Predominant tendency is to find terms commonly revealing to help the lay audience understand a discipline which can be attractive when a suitable form and presentation is used. Besides the language it is also new topics reflecting costume and its development such as; costume as performance, nudity as/and costume, event and an act of wearing a dress, installation and costume, light and costume, technology and costume which complete the perspective. The number of themes which emerged in the last 6 years is high and sometimes they are connected only seemingly. Some are entering disciplines which are interconnected and influence each other mutually. Therefore some examples of work process are used repeatedly in a comparative or illustrative role.Throughout the whole work the search is for new paths, techniques and materials for costume design and its emancipation. Next to this stands no less important role of costume as a part of action scenography as well as the postmodernism of 1980?s which is a significant starting point of my own work. In contrast to certain excessiveness stands the concept of unpretentious costume completed with specifics of film costume designing.Fashion show as a show with all the aspects of a dramatic piece/performance considers consumer and sociological topics and can be linked to reshaping and costume recycling which closely relates to economic and ecologic aspects too.Emancipation effort is joined with its presentation in public in the form of exhibitions, events, workshops and its documentation for the future. The technological ?boom? occurred especially with the emerge of light costume and ?wearables? as well as the research for materials and the work of realizers on creative ideas of the artists. An inseparable part is a dictionary of alternative materials used in costume designing and a extensive bibliography.
