MAN, PLACE , MEMORY
Vlček, Martin ; HAVLÍČKOVÁ, Šárka (advisor) ; SCHMELZOVÁ, Radoslava (referee)
Since its origin scenography has been situated among two arts (the visual art
and the performing art). Also the visual art itself has been since the 60's
of the 20th century in a similar position: experiences of living through as a part
of installation (environment since 50's) or focusing more on the action itself
(happening, event, performance). In my thesis I mention such examples, when
both of these creative worlds cross each other on borders. The themes
memory and place included in their works may consist at least of one of these
two main levels:
1.) art work with place and its specifics
2.) art work established on personal stories or sharing the experience
The most important for me are phenomenon of authenticity and personal
experience, (co)fealing and contextuality of the place. The buildings and
installations become scenes and scenographies at the same time. The happenings,
events, performances become the story. But these art approaches are
just shortly mentioned in my thesis, working more like roots, context with the
past in contemporary works. I prefer projects intensively close to life to the
artificial works. Whether it is about high experience level continuing to the
intimate dialogue or sharing the big stories, memory and places, it is done in the
context of time-based media, mental maps, site specific, memory, space/site,
path, memories and someone who reads (in) it and (re)interpretates that.
In my author diploma art project I work with a phenomenon of Being on
a visit. Which are the differences and when does it come to coherence among
the two key moments — being (still) on a visit and to (already) feel like
at home? I´m searching for way how to reflect the place/site, using memory
not only of that place/site, but also of the people who knew it — and transforming
their interpretations from different personal stories or deformations of the
reality (propaganda, idealisation). I focus to make a new environment/landscape,
transported to another context. In my art work I am trying to use almost all tools
for portraiting the reality. Painting, photography, video, installation, sound,
environment, drawing, projection, text, food, performance, dance, ritual and me
as the main creator of the dialogue with the visitors.

Spaces from Elsewhere
Stojčevski, Dragan ; SCHMELZOVÁ, Radoslava (advisor) ; ŠTOREK, Pavel (referee)
The dissertation thesis deals with a specific type of creation of space, that the author tries to define as scenographic installation. In the first chapter, Space as Medium, the author maps work with space of a variety of artists who inspired him in his own research. He deals with scenography in contemporary theatre, installation in visual arts, creation of exhibitions in museums as well as with art projects in public spaces and creation of contemporary monuments.
The author comes to the conclusion that the scenographic installation is a particular type of scenography that appears in site-specific projects, in environmental and immersive theatre. He also defines the scenographic installation as an independent artistic genre, similar to installation in the visual arts. He specifies this genre by its performative and narrative qualities. The author sees the conection of the space with spectator as participant as another of its distinguishing features.
The research is divided into three parts, where the author points out some of the important spatial characteristics of scenographic installation.
In the first part The Re-contextualization of Space, he describes his experience with authorial site-specific project In S(p)ite of Fire and his scenographic work on environmental theatre Oresteia. He describes how a scenographic installation can transform public space and put it in another context as a part of site specific projects and environmental theatre. In the second part The Phenomenon of Relocation, the author discusses the creation of scenographic installations in exhibition spaces of a museum. He is interested in the ability of scenographic installation to re-interpret the artifacts exhibited in museums. He provides his experience with authorial projects Pergamon Set and Room, produced inside of museums.
In the third part The Spatial Simulation, he explores scenographic installation within the phenomenon of simulation in space in theatres and galleries. He bases his findings on his scenographic work on King Stag and Experiment Mice Paradise performances and on his authorial project You Are Unique You Do Not Exist, produced in a gallery. He comes to the conclusion that scenography alone, without actors, can make a performative space in which the spectator is the main driver and that it can exist as a separate genre, outside of the context of theatre.
At the end of his research the author describes relations and roles of the spectator in scenographic installation.
