Composition and decomposition as an contemporary art strategy
Zakharova, Iryna ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (advisor) ; LEDVINA, Josef (referee)
Our changing relationships to things and materials forces us to seek new strategies and patterns to create "artistic situations," the meaning of which is reversible, non-fixed. Each situation can be decomposed and no one thing is more important than another. This unfettered process of thinking about things offers more liberated forms without finding any particular higher importance, or truth. Just as speculative realists were not uplifting the knowledge of the individual about things, the thing by itself circulates and operates without our participation. This idea of anther unknown reality, in which everything is fundamentally different and where things are circulating without us, brings more open ways to compose and decompose things in artistic practice. Because one does not have to react to things as they are, but only to things as they appear. Perhaps what makes an artistic gesture so powerful is not the gesture itself but the moment before the gesture or between the gestures. These spaces between the gestures allow the viewer to reflect on what is being seen and experienced.
Action
Zakharova, Iryna ; MUSILOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; MĚŘIČKA, Jan (referee)
My thesis is focused on the performance art. I am interested in the nature of the action, the environment in which the work is produced (including the author's intention), its socio-cultural impact as well as the spiritual and artistic role of the author. The text begins with an Angela's interview about art. Then I?m introducing contemplation, as a spiritual category, which defines the rhythm of social life. Contemplation as the interruption of normal course of things. I?m showing actions, examples of physical performance, which contains more artistic methods. However I try to challenge the definition of the action by mentioning various examples. I continue with the theme of the documentation, where for example photographs may be essential element for action to be truly done.
