Contemporary political art as a reflection of the time
 Kráľová, Ľuboslava ; Rataj, Jan (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
The master thesis Contemporary political art as a reflection of the time seeks to define the relationship of art and politics. The base is built around the statement of Boris Groys where he claims that every art is in a way political, as it accrues from a specific and given socio-political situation. The thesis then looks at the given art through the lens of a subcategory -- contemporary activist art. In terms of social history of art, the artistic expressions are seen as the counterpart to the forms of politicized art of futurism, German national socialism and Soviet socialist realism. The goal of the thesis was to understand the work of contemporary Czech and Slovak visual artists as a conscience of the time. First of all so in the form of civic responsibility for events in their own country that they voluntarily accepted. That is reflected in the visualized topics that provoke and shock the public. The thesis concludes by stating that contemporary political art is nonconformist, therefore determining the problems in today's society.
