Autonomy of an artwork outside of the institutions of art
Hauser, Filip ; Piaček,, Martin (referee) ; Dub,, Petr (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
This dissertation thesis aims to reflect on the current evolvement of public spaces and increasingly common discussions of the lay and professional public about its impact and importance for a democratic society. The main topic, "Autonomy of an artwork outside of the institutions of art", focuses on searching for the autonomy of artwork in public spaces in the context of how the artwork was placed there. The thesis describes specific artworks which were placed into the public space using different methods, such as art competition, no competition, as a gift, or in a way of temporary art. These methods are examined to find the degree of autonomy. The degree of autonomy of artworks in public spaces is determined based on the applied analysis which, among other things, focuses on how efficient the result is in comparison to the method of placement. The field research resulted in complex, subjective, sculptural and artistic opinion on the current practice of placement of artworks into public spaces. Such professional and relevant opinion was then presented to the responsible authorities which have a significant impact on the creation of public spaces. The author aims to apply the acquired knowledge in practice by offering his professional opinions for the new elaboration of the government strategic document called "Politika architektury a stavební kultury České republiky" (loosely translated as "Politics of Architecture and Building Culture of the Czech Republic"), which is created by Ministry of Regional Development of the Czech Republic. The main results of the thesis describe the efficient approaches which lead to cultivation of public spaces and the significant role of art in them. Such approaches were in the thesis demonstrated by civic influence on the government strategies or civic activism in a form of citizens' initiative called "Je to i tvoje město" (loosely translated as "The city is your too") which actively participates in the public debate in Jindřichův Hradec, town on the South of the Czech Republic.

Writing about art: the problems of interpretation of art and its conveying in media through the eyes of Czech art journalists
Laufer, David ; Hroch, Miloš (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The bachelor's thesis Writing about art: the problems of interpretation of art and its conveying in media through the eyes of Czech art journalists deals with writing about fine art in media. First, it generally examines the influence of language and society on the definition of art, after which it focuses on the interpretation of works of art in art journalism, the limits of its arbitrarness and the role of the reader and the context. This theoretical knowledge is used in the practical part to analyze semi-structured in-depth interviews with respondents from the ranks of Czech art journalists. Their statements indicate the importance of careful choice of the composition of texts and the method of interpretation, which often depends on the specific nature of the described work of art or exhibition. In spite of these variables, this thesis shows generally preferred approaches of individual respondents to interpreting art. They either build their texts informatively and base their interpretations on the opinions of curators and artists' life stories, or they approach these external interpretations rather skeptically and stick to their own analysis. Respondents agree that in any case they influence the public's view of the often incomprehensible and insufficiently medialized contemporary art, which...

Eucharist reverence in the work of art of Darina Gladišová
Zoričák, Ján ; Pučalík, Marek (referee)
The thesis entitled Respect for the Eucharist in the work of Darina Gladišová is a contribution to a deeper knowledge of the reasons for the importance of the Eucharist and respect for it in the Catholic Church. The work of contemporary Slovak academic painter Darina Gladišová is characterized by a Christian theme with a dominant accent on the Eucharist. Among the works with the theme of the Eucharist stands out a cycle of six large paintings called Corpus Christi - the Body of Christ, which was created in 2003 - 2010. The cycle is installed in the refectory of the Franciscan Monastery in Bratislava, Slovakia. The thesis presents the above-mentioned images of the Corpus Christi cycle and theologically interprets them through the bibliography of St. John Paul II. and Franciscan springs. The method of interpretation was chosen on the basis of literary sources about the life and work of the painter, but mainly on personal interviews of the rigorous thesis' author with Darina Gladišová, in which he names the mentioned sources of inspiration. Thoughts concerning the Eucharist are the key throughout of the rigorous thesis.

Consequences of Reconceptualization of New Media Artworks
Scholz, Petr ; Charvát, Martin (advisor) ; Váša, Ondřej (referee)
Within the new social and technological conditions of the second half of the 20th century, new conceptions of art are being established, later described as "New Media Art". Automated processes (often with integration of artificial intelligence) of artistic creation questions the status of authorship over the final artifact. Next to the ambiguities regarding the status of the artist, the nature of the works themselves is also changing (uniqueness, simulations). The aim of the thesis is to provide theoretical and philosophical analysis of new media artworks based on the synthesis of theoretical background provided by perspectives of multiple authors. This theoretical frame, along with own practical knowledge, will be used for the analysis of selected specific new media art projects, which will provide a closer view on the contemporary computer generated artworks. The end of the thesis will be formulate thoughts about possible future developments in the field of automated creation of algorithmic art or authorship.
