Dolečková, Veronika ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Vranka, Marek (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis "Advertisements against Advertising. Subvertising in the Czech Republic and Abroad." deals with the phenomenon of subvertising, which originated from the needs of artists to react to the content and number of advertising messages surrounding us on a daily basis. The thesis sets the phenomenon into cultural-historical context and describes the development of art criticism. It also includes new marketing movements that stem from subvertising. Principally, the thesis focuses on the relationship of art and marketing, whose margins are currently being exceeded. Based on the theoretical findings, the practical part of the thesis analyses selected artists and introduces important manifestations of subvertising. For the description of the artistic interventions, it uses the method of a case study and comparative analysis. At its beginning, the thesis presents four world groups which unify artists and which brought forth subvertising. The next part deals with the context of foreign artistic production and introduces six subvertisers, including several lesser-known figures. The second half of the thesis contains case studies analysing the artistic production in the Czech Republic, and comparative analyses which compare the Czech production with the attacks of foreign artists.

Tracks in contemporary art
Houšková, Aneta ; Daniel, Ladislav (advisor) ; Bláha, Jaroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis as a whole deals with the topic of tracks in contemporary art. It is divided into three parts. Theoretical, didactic and practical part. In the theoretical part, I first define what a track means to me and I apply this definition when searching for tracks in the works of contemporary artists. The theoretical part of the work includes an interview with Patrik Proška, an artist creating some of his works in public space. In the didactic art project, created for high school students, the topic of tracks is viewed somewhat more freely. The main goal of the thematic unit is to lead students to think about tracks through their own artistic activity. Based on the experience gained, they should be able to think about the transience of the tracks, the meaning of our legacy and the consequences of our existence. I especially focus on the art area related to land arts and street art or graffiti. The practical part is the result of my reasoning about the tracks left in public space. I established my reasoning on the knowledge gained in the theoretical part. The result is a set of author's books that document my thoughts on the tracks found or created. I focused my attention mainly on the human desire to leave their tracks in the public space. KEY WORDS track, public space, art, land art,...

The End of Writer's Career: Urban Folklore Which Breaks the Law
Mejstříková, Dorotea ; Večerka, Kazimír (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
Graffiti is a game in which heroic courage and great tension are applied. It is an unusual and risky activity beyond the law, associated with dangerous and illegal intrusion into the secured areas of the underground metro system or climbing the roofs of buildings and high walls. All this means for the writer to write his name on the wall and reap the recognition of his colleagues from the subculture for it. The work looks at graffiti from the perspective of their representatives. Its aim is to answer the question whether the writer's motives to remain in the graffiti subculture change over time, how the writers perceive the sanctions of their surroundings, and whether the sanctions of the institutions affect the end of the writer's career. Data collection will take place through semi-structured interviews with respondents from the graffiti environment, participatory observation and qualitative content analysis of printed materials and websites, used for the exchange of information, especially between active members of the subculture. Keywords Graffiti, subculture, art, vandalism, subcultural career, criminal liability, social sanctions Title The End of Writer's Career: Urban Folklore Which Breaks the Law.

The core is a conversion of unused historical customs house building near the Hevlín–Laa an der Thaya border crossing to an attractive place serving especially the locals as a supportive environment for their activities.
