Post-graffiti art: Interweaving of painting and street/graffiti art in contemporary Czech art
DRAŽAN, Richard
The thesis deals with a contemporary artistic phenomenon of post-graffiti. It maps its development and main artists, while it attempts to encompass what can be considered a post-graffiti work and thus define its boundaries. Contemporary artists, mainly painters who work at least partially in this style are described. Those artists come not only from Czechia but also from abroad. The work thus primarely attempts to provide a detailed description and formal analysis of this phenomenon, while secondarily it aims to map the contemporary Czech post-graffiti scene. Based on research in the body of work, two main categories of artists' approach to the creation of post-graffiti paintings are outlined. Sub-genres of this phenomenon are also described. This thesis also explores the articulation of motivation that plays a significant role in an individual's transition to studio painting from illegal graffiti painting in the urban exterior. One of the chapters focuses on an aesthetic comparison of abstract expressionism and post-graffiti. A short section also includes a description and development of the Czech graffiti scene. The second part of the thesis is devoted mainly on interpretation of the works of Czech artists that can be categorised as post-graffiti in their contemporary work or in part of their artistic career. This section also includes characteristics comparison of Czech and foreign approaches to the creation of post-graffiti artworks. Furthermore, the theoretical argumentation of high and low art is applied to the relationship between graffiti and post-graffiti. This issue of art hierarchization is reviewed throughout the whole body of this academic work.

Experience in The Artwork and in The Gallery Space
Havránková, Simona ; Pfeiffer, Jan (advisor) ; Francová, Sylva (referee)
The theoretical part of the thesis is comprised of three interrelated areas: the exhibition as a medium, space, and curation. The chosen areas each include a presentation of the development of space. The thesis explores elements that transform the audience's overall experience of visiting an exhibition and the audience's impression of the displayed piece. The chapter which follows the facilitator's role in the exhibit determines the most common causes of the public's dismissive stance towards art. The third chapter is focused on curation and introduces the curator's role. The practical part of the thesis proposes solutions for a three-dimensional installation and offers means of linking artworks to their surroundings. In relation to the subject of the public's detachment from art, the thesis explores art from the viewpoint of the audience and the audience's experience. The thesis aims at designing an arrangement that aids in bettering the relationship between the public, the gallery, and art, through the use of gallery education. The practical part involves the author's project - a curatorial conception for which thematic series are provided in the didactic part. The basis of the work is finding relationships between different areas of art and viewing exhibitions from an educational perspective....

I Am The One Who's Gonna Steal Your Job
Ilič, Risto ; Houser, Milan (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
The diploma thesis I Am The One Who's Gonna Steal Your Job deals with the transitional period in the life of a young artist who dreams of career realization in his field. He thinks about how to achieve this when he realizes that even a less established painters can often sell their paintings for thousands of czech crowns, because paintings can be easily commodified and, as a result, placed in the interior. He thus decides to leave his area of practice and tries to get into the market with traditional artistic media with the help of artificial intelligence and marketing. He doesn't go far for visual inspiration, as he tries to recycle and distort photos (so-called visual smog) of a corner store on the other side of the street. The thesis deals with the issue of the emergence of artificial intelligence in the field of visual arts and with the eternal question of the ethics of the authorship of a work of art and its authenticity. It also deals with the question of the employment of art school graduates. Therefore, the work does not only provide a subversive analysis of the art market but also a reflection of the position of the artist participating in this market.

Photography and author's book
Růžičková, Zuzana ; Francová, Sylva (advisor) ; Magidová, Markéta (referee)
The topic of my bachelor thesis is Photography and the Author's Book. I deal in it with a brief chronological history of the medium of photography and, in a little more detail, with contemporary photography. I follow a similar approach to the phenomenon of author's books and their various variations and forms, where I also briefly introduce the medium of zine. After the author's book, the work moves on to the combination of the author's book and photography and photographic publications. Then, the various author's files, photography books, author's books and visual files are mentioned in the thesis, which are also described in terms of how they work with text, photography and their overall visuality. All of these publications are contemporary productions in the Czech Republic, no more than 5 years old, and their subject matter is similar to that of my author's photography book (nature, feelings, music), which I describe in detail in the artistic part of the thesis. The artistic part consists of an author's photographic project presented in the form of an author's book, in which I try to connect the theme of nature, feelings with images accompanied by music. I also incorporate other elements into my work - artefacts, natural objects and glass fragments that I have collected during my photographic...

Contemporary Art as a Tool of Art Marketing of the City of Prague
Pilná, Barbora ; Dolanský, Pavel (advisor) ; Köppl, Daniel (referee)
Work Contemporary Art as a Tool of Art Marketing of the City of Prague aims to show culture not only as something saint and untouchable, but also as a very important part of a state economy, mainly in the framework of tourism. It deals with the relationship of culture and marketing, with the meaning of culture itself and with its role in the area of tourism. It looks into culture as the tool of the communication of Prague and looks critically at the contemporary situation of its presentation for tourists. There's no doubt that the presentation of Prague only through historical city centre is no longer enough in the competition of other cultural destinations and that Prague should think about changing and developing new strategy of communication. As the very tool of this change could work contemporary arts, which is used by many other cultural destinations around the world (Berlin, London, NYC), which Prague can also offer and which shows openess and a better place for life. The Prague City Hall has been financing those alternative cultural projects lately and by doing that has started to present Prague not only as a historical city centre, but also as a creative and dynamic place. This work discusses the reasons why The City Hall has been doing so, if on purpose or unconsciously, and by that tries...
