Váchová, Lucie ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Morganová, Pavlína (referee) ; Štefková, Zuzana (referee)
The dissertation thesis gives a real picture of Czech artistic works from late 1980s to the present day that use the language of Conceptual and Action art for a reflection of current problems in our society. The study is to encompass socially-oriented art or tendencies that want to communicate with the inartistic context and its focus is on the social-political aspect of contemporary art. The first part of the text is focused on basic concepts, moreover, it describes the most important exhibitions, theoretical contexts or considerations associated with the concepts of political or engaged art and it includes a brief reference to examples of older socially oriented art of the 20th century. The thesis strives to give a picture of the main themes through which artists reflect on humanity within a current societal system with its various old or new phenomena. The topics and the particular relevant artworks are described in four main chapters that should reveal the working methods or the development of the artists approach or strategies of artistic groups that have simultaneously reflected changes in the Czech art scene for the past 25 years. The prime motives are classical or newborn topics like reflection on motherhood, transformation of the present-day family, attitudes to the phenomenon of age,...

Relax
Froncová, Tereza ; Helia De Felice, Jennifer (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The thesis deals with a topic of virtual relaxation and the contrast between idealized landscape and everyday reality. The theme of landscape compensation is very comprehensive and widely interacts with and impacts on psychological and cultural levels. For example, when images of nature represent a place of denied primary purity or the unreachable paradise. I draw my inspiration from YouTube channel phenomenon of relaxation videos which depict several hours’ long static views of the ideal landscape with authentic sound in the background. The aim of the work is to prepare a happening with a video recording, when the absurdly long journey in search of the ideal will not be transferable.

Performance and performance philosophy
MARTINEK, Filip Gorazd
This diploma thesis aims to acquaints the kind reader with the issue of performance. However, the approach to performance in this work is rather philosophical. Methodologically, we find ourselves between performance and philosophy. The reader is first acquainted with the narrative of a specific performance, performative turn and performance studies. A definition of performance is provided with an application to history, in which there are also completely new insights into what we can consider a real performance. Moreover, history itself is addressed through philosophy. A large part of the work deals with the explanation of the philosophical work of Tomas Ruller. The final part of the thesis introduces the reader the possibility of establishing philosophical anthropology in the work of Edita Stein, which is the opposite of the contemporary trend of anti-essentialism.

Czechoslovak action art and performance between 1963 and 1989: was the artistic freedom restricted by the State security?
Coverini, Valeria ; Zelená, Alena (advisor) ; Tůma, Oldřich (referee)
Práce zkoumá přístup v omezování svobody umělecké tvorby Státní bezpečnosti v případě československých akčních umělců. Zabývá se obdobím mezi lety 1963 až do tzv. sametové revoluce v roce 1989. Na konkrétních reprezentativních příkladech zkoumá intenzitu a vývoj omezování svobody tvorby ze strany Státní bezpečnosti. Ze sta zkoumaných umělců jsem vybrala ty nejsledovanější Státní policií a po vyhodnocení zúžené skupiny umělců jsem vybrala čtyři umělce, kteří tvoří reprezentativní vzorek zahrnující území Česka i Slovenska, období tvorby a závažnost omezení. Vybranými akčními umělci jsou Eugen Brikcius, Milan Knížák, Alex Mlynárčik a Tomáš Ruller. Ve zvláštní kapitole rozebírám rok 1989, který se svým charakterem liší od předchozích let. Fakt, že byla svoboda tvorby akčních umělců v Českoslovenku omezována je nediskutabilní. Hlavní otázkou výzkumu zůstává, zda se omezování tvůrčí svobody akčních umělců ze strany Státní bezpečnosti lišilo v průběhu 60., 70. a 80. let, případně jestli se lišilo a jak v Česku a na Slovensku. Intenzitu omezování definuji vězněním, omezením cestování, pokutou, žádostí o spolupráci se Státní bezpečností nebo například nemožností získat vzdělání či práci v závislosti na umělecké tvorbě.
