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”.

Acqusitions 2018 GVUO: (Con)texts of Ján Mančuška
Galerie výtvarného umění v Ostravě
Výstava (Kon)texty Jána Mančušky je založena na prezentaci dvou prací Veden zdmi otočil jsem se do rohu (2007) a Žena středního věku (2009), které GVUO zakoupila v roce 2018 do svých sbírek. Kurátorský záměr představit na výstavě pouze a jenom tato dvě díla je motivován nejen vědomím náročnosti procesu jejich pochopení, ale také faktem, že velkorysost a čistota instalační prezentace ve výstavním prostoru může napomoct jejich adekvátnímu prožitku. Z výše uvedeného vyplývá, že výstavní blok nemá ambici ukázat Jána Mančušku v jeho celistvém uměleckém rozpětí. Je pouze částečným otiskem jedné autorovy tvůrčí polohy, v níž se zaobíral texty jako nástroji uměleckého sdělování.

In her opinion, the cosmos (or the universe) is closely related to space-time, but mainly to those other metaphorical universes of people around. Another influence could be seen in a fate that could characterise the actual realisation of a set of individual universes itself, which for its ever increasing variety is the same authentic, autonomous universe in which she could see the main purpose.

The Art of Idea. Theory of Conceptual Art.
RADOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with conceptualism in visual arts. It introduces basic ideas of conceptual art and applies it to selected classical aesthetic concepts (Šklovskij's method of refinement). The thesis also presents three authors of conceptual art, whose work shows the use of theory in practice. It then moves to an art movement that does not agree with the concepts of conceptual art (conflict between the Stuck movement and conceptual art, painting x concept). Finally it explains the relationship and the proximity between conceptualism and philosophy.

Food as a Source of Meanings in Conceptual Art
Guhová, Vendula ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (advisor) ; Uhnák, Tomáš (referee)
“Food as a Source of Meanings in Conceptual Art: Artistic Attitudes of Alison Knowles and Rirkrit Tiravanija” is a case study that examines the spectre of meanings mediated by food in the 20th century art and context-dependent changes of those. The thesis describes and compares the meanings of cooking and eating in Alison Knowles's pieces Propostion: Make a Salad and The Identical Lunch and Rirkrit Tiravanija's pieces Untitled (Pad/Thai) and Untitled (Free/Still), with regard to their contemporary and artistic context (Fluxus and relational aesthetics). It explores when do these activities - using quotidian acts - become an art piece and what mythology do these two artists build around themselves. One of the important aspects examined is a motive of connectivity.
