The dissertation project Czech Video Art (in the context of world video art) aims to comprehensively map and define the category of video art in the Czech cultural space with a logical anchorage in the world situation. The project consists of two separate, though interconnected, parts. The theoretical research is directed towards a publication that offers a comprehensive survey of the Czech art scene that respects the concept of video art in the international professional discourse associated with analogue technology. From the origins and the first pioneers of the medium of video in the world in the 1960s, through the situation at the break of the 1970s and 1980s in the Czech Republic, to the 1990s, when this epoch is brought to an end by the advent of digital technology. The second part of the work consists of a practical curatorial project of the exhibition. The purpose of the dissertation on the topic of Czech Video Art is to take a professional position on the matter of Czech video art both from the theoretical and historiographical point of view, and to introduce this topic to the wider public in a practical way. Now is a good time for this evaluation, especially because of the appropriate time gap, which allows for sober reflection. Also, the theoretical tools and methods of solution are now available, especially the expert sources of foreign bibliography, which is absent in our country. The motivation was the scientific publication by Pavlína Morganová, which analysed the Czech Action Art.
