1	Súčasné politické umenie ako zrkadlo doby / Contemporary political art as a reflection of the time Kráľová, Ľuboslava January 2011 (has links) 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.
2	Group Material and the 1980s: A Materialist Postmodernism Grace, Claire Robbin January 2014 (has links) Group Material's seventeen-year collaboration began in New York in 1979 through the artists' shared interests in collective, politicized practices and their immersion in a localized network of countercultural activities. While GM's cadre of participants shifted over time (from the dozen who launched its first year to a smaller core comprising Doug Ashford, Julie Ault, Mundy McLaughlin, Félix González-Torres, and Tim Rollins), its practice developed a consistent aesthetic vocabulary in dialogue with major figures of 1980s art and with an eye to 1960s conceptualism and the Soviet avant-garde. GM threw open the class coordinates of art's public and introduced a distinct set of responses to the central problematics of 1980s art: the debates over representation, appropriation, painting, public space, and activism. / History of Art and Architecture Art history American studies Art and activism Art collectives Contemporary art New York Postwar art
3	Tradiční technika vyšívání v současném umění / Traditional technique of embroidery in contemporary art Tocar, Sofia January 2017 (has links) The present master's thesis discusses the traditional textile technique of embroidery in the context of contemporary art and analyses the way in which this craft technique has evolved from its invention to this day. The historical development points at the inevitable link between this artistic technique and women's history in Western societies, where embroidery strove to maintain stereotypes on femininity. In the twentieth century, embroidery as well as other textile techniques take on a new, subversive quality which enables the beginning of a social dialogue through art. It becomes a part of the public space in the form of banners in demonstrations or craftivist interventions in city streets. It tries to free itself from stereotypes and become an accessible technique for which the artistic process is as important as the finished piece. The work of contemporary artists reveals the shifting position of textile art, which cannot be considered as a simple offshoot of artistic craftsmanship for it has turned into in an autonomous and widely used medium of expression in current artistic production.
