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.

The main title of the doctoral thesis - ART/CRIME - CRIME/ART - point to a general investigation of these two phenomenons. This investigation makes up the background of the main theme of the thesis, which is an actual event of the mysterious death of the painter and shepherd K.. At work I spend time with alternative investigations of this death and the goal is an attempt to reconstruct the events and effort of discovering the answers what happened that night and whether or not a killer really existed or not.

ID - IDENTITY (UN) KNOWN (time specific in-cognito in-stant id - entity)
Janečková, Zuzana ; Babák, Petr (referee) ; Rozbořil, Blahoslav (referee) ; Chamonikolasová, Kaliopi (referee) ; Ruller, Tomáš (advisor)
This dissertation focuses on va-rious strategies of presenting identity in contemporary art and the current trend of forming its mutations and mystifications. It deals with approaches such as when the name of an artist is absent from his performance, various forms of concealment, and the subsequent detection of an artist. The term “anonymity” is not examined as its mere literal definition, but it subsequently forks into other related meanings. The introduction points at our daily meetings with anonymity, the condensation of information stemming from all spheres including the sphere of visual arts. The subject of the dissertation is explored though the influence of media operating at a given time (time-specific) and a given place (site-specific): here and now. The text primarily deals with the phenomenon of being “anonymous”. While examining this topic, the period starting with the 1990s is discussed and supplemented by examples from the history of Slovak, Czech, and international visual art with extensions to literature, music and film. It closely focuses on the following four bi-polar forms of anonymity: celebrity / anonymous artist, art groups / collective exhibitions, street art / net art, signature art / untitled art. These terms are defined and organized into dictionary entries (containing both names of artists and definitions of terms). Comprising of over two hundred words, a hybrid thematic dictionary has been produced. It consists of already existing definitions taken from the Slovak and Czech mutations of Wikipedia which are quoted with consistence with each entry. The collaboration with Wikipedia is based on subsequent addition of the author’s definitions and thus supplements it with missing information from the sphere of visual arts. The text also deals with a current trend of renaming as a symbol of a hegemonic tool of power. The terms a.k.a., name, monogram, nick, and pseudonym are explored.

A Journey to Prehistory
Filipová, Markéta ; Rozbořil, Blahoslav (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
The topic of my bachelors degree is closely linked to the movie shot by Karel Zeman. It is a story about four boys who decide to travel to the beginning of the time. The whole complex is connected to the opening scene of the movie, when the boys float through the cave into prehistory. This scene became symbolic and also the motif of the "journey" is present nearly in all the paintings. Journey to the beginning of time is a metaphor to study of prehistory. It is a mental travel to the history, travel that helpes us to understand the forgotten reality.
