Changing perceptions of landscape; work of Miloš Šejn's Conceptual art studio in years 1990 - 2000
Hrnčířová, Markéta ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the conceptual expressions, that reflect the landscape. This thesis is also trying to imply the possible genesis of these artistic approaches. After the general definitions of terms and introduction, the thesis examines the various topics, which was related to the landscape and it's anti-mimetic visual representation since the late sixties. Another part of the work focuses on Milos Šejn, an artist with a very specific, physical relationship to nature and at the same time a former head of The Studio of Conceptual art of the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, where many of his students were somehow related to nature. I chose four artists, who passed on Šejn's studio and on the basis of their work and available documents, I will try to show, how this new generation have reflected the landscape. If they were inspired by czech artists or by foreign examples, that were not available in the Czech Republic for a long time.

Through two main exhibitions that were in the beginning and in the end of the conceptual art, I am trying to look closer at the institutional acceptance of this movement in Europe. I have reconstructed a complex description of the preparation, evolution and the process of the so-called exhibition "When attitudes become form", that is seen as the first conceptual art display on the European continent. The exhibition was held in Bern in 1969 and it had served as a main concept for its curator, Harald Szeemann, for the organization of international exhibition called "Documenty 5" that confirmed the domination of conceptual art but marked the beginning of its ideological downturn. My work closely analyses this second project, however, it mostly deals with the...

Brožka, Petr ; Rozbořil, Blahoslav (referee) ; Ingerle, Petr (referee) ; Bartlová,, Milena (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
The doctoral thesis deals with the topic of exihibiting of an empty gallery. The problem of the emptiness is presented by using a prism of theory of art, semiotics and phenomenology, more precisely hermeneutics. The matter is in a relation with some remote domains, it tries to give a definition of substance and general rules by exihibiting of the emptiness in a gallery. According to one of the presented propositions the plain emptiness itself comes to be an artwork. By semantics of logic method the text is tryiing to form another proposition about specific emptiness in a gallery that generates artwork naturally. The text tries to reopen the theme of some crucial problems in conceptual art. It presents an explanation of the aplication of conceptual method to general public.

Post - conceptual Approaches in the Contemporary Czech Painting
Dub, Petr ; David,, Jiří (referee) ; Havlík, Vladimír (referee) ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Stratil, Václav (advisor)
The dissertation thesis entitled Selected Post-conceptual Approaches in the Contemporary Czech Painting reflects the author’s expressions of the youngest artists’ generation working with the conceptual forms in the painting medium after 1996. The aim of the dissertation is to outline the conflict and overlapping of the conceptualism and painting. Apart from the development of conceptual art, the reference framework of the submitted thesis also comprises the post-modern turn in visual arts associated with a global change in its social status during the second half of the 20th and at the beginning of 21st century. The development of the domestic artistic scene and particular approaches are presented on the basis of a representative selection of the most distinctive tendencies and significant authors, being compared with the work of foreign artists. The text interprets the key theoretical treatises, reviewed responses and artists’ statements covering the domain of “contemporary painting to conceptual art”.

Conceptualisation of Art: Negation of Form and the Problem of Nature of Conceptual Art.
ŘÍHOVÁ, Monika
The bachelor thesis deals with the problematic aspects of avant-garde, which were amplified and developed in the postwar movement known as neo-avant-garde in visual art, and especially with its conceptual tendencies which represent constant challenge for current aesthetics. Firstly the basis of aesthetic theory of art will be outlined in order to explain and show where the critique of aesthetics by conceptual artists is leading to. Then it introduces possibilities and limits of selected definition strategies, character of the relationship of conceptual art to other types of art and non-artistic activities, especially its approach to the philosophy and science. The key points of this thesis are: What is conceptualism? What transforms the neo-avant-garde pieces of works into art? Can we apply aesthetic categories at conceptualism? In which way does the conceptual piece work as a symbol?
