The history of collection at the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, illustrates concepts of race in the development of museums in Canada from before Confederation to today. Located at intersections of Art History, Museology, Postcolonial Studies and Native Studies, this thesis uses discourse theory to trouble definitions of nation and problematize them as inherently racial constructs wherein 'Canadianness' is institutionalized as a dominant white, Euro-Canadian discourse that mediates belonging. The recent reinstallations of the permanent Canadian historical art galleries at the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts are significant in their illustration of contemporary colonial collection practices. The effectiveness of each installation is discussed in relation to the demands and resistances raised by Indigenous and non-Native artists and cultural professionals over the last 40 years, against racist treatment of Indigenous arts.

quatro artistas paulistas: Luiz Paulo Baravelli, Frederico Nasser, Carlos Fajardo e José Resende, antes alunos de Wesley Duke Lee. A Escola existiu entre 1970 e 1974 em São Paulo. Os quatro fundadores eram nos anos 60 estudantes de arquitetura; três deles participaram da Rex Gallery & Sons, criada por Geraldo de Barros, Nelson Leiner e Duke Lee. A galeria os colocou em contato com o meio artístico brasileiro, especialmente o paulista, e seus debates. Os pressupostos conceituais e a experiência social da Escola Brasil: apresentam pontos de intersecção com experiências e projetos artísticos (e culturais) situados entre os anos 50 e 70, dois pontos altos da modernização brasileira; e é esse o eixo temporal, histórico, em que se procura situar criticamente sua existência. Os principais nexos de relação entre a Escola e este recorte temporal são as sintonias que apresenta, tanto do ponto de vista da produção artística como da experiência de ensino, com o projeto construtivo e o Tropicalismo. / This work is about Escola de arte Brasil: (two points), one institution founded by four artistis from São Paulo: Luiz Paulo Baravelli, Frederico Nasser, Carlos Fajardo and José Resende, that before studied with Wesley Duke Lee. The Escola existed between 1970 and 1974 in São Paulo. The four founders were on the 60s architecture students; three of them participated of Rex Gallery & Sons, created by Geraldo de Barros, Nelson Leirner and Duke Lee. The gallery got them in touch whit the Brazilian artistic environment and pleading, specially with the scene from São Paulo. The conceptual assumptions and the social experience of the Escola Brasil: presents points of intersection with artistic (and cultural) experiences and projects situated between the decades of 50s and the 70s, two highlights of the Brazilian modernization process; and this is the temporal axis, historical, that this work try to situate critically its existence. The main links of relation between the Escola and this temporal axis are the tunings that presents, both from the point of view of artistic production as the teaching experience, with the constructive project and with the Tropicalismo.

This Master thesis with a title of "The Art Scene in Zlín in Sixties" considers Zlín's culture of the era on the institutional level. It consists of three main parts including the issues of (1.) the Regional Gallery of Fine Arts in Zlín (called Gottwaldov during the era of communist regime in Czechoslovakia from 1949 to 1989), (2.) The Gallery Dílo Gottwaldov, a branch of ČFVU (the Czech Archive of Art), and finally (3.) The Design Competition for Theater of Workers. This thesis aims to describe foundation, development, work and exhibition activities for both galleries. The chapter about the Regional Gallery also pursues acquisition activity of the Institution. A part of the thesis dealing with a competition to decorate Theater of Workers describes development of the competition since its manifestation, follows the announcement of a winning designs and considers the official opening of the building as well. The competition was launched for the construction of monumental sculpture in front of the Theater, the monumental mosaic for the front lobby of the Theater, sculpture in the fountain in a park behind the Theater and decorative textile curtain for the stage.

The thesis will focus on period of the 5th Topič Gallery (Topičův salon) in the period 2008 - 2014, which was led by a big art enthusiast and philanthropist Mr. Pavel Vašíček. It will deal with broad historical context of the gallery, which was reopened in 2008. There has not been done any research into the topic yet. The thesis will be based on accessible archive documents, oral history, exhibition reviews and exhibitions catalogues. Keywords: Topič Gallery, 5th Topič Gallery, 2008-2014, Topičův salon Society, Mr. Pavel Vašíček, Topič, nonprofit gallery, Prague, exhibition

The purpose of this study is to provide the fields of art education and museum education with gallery teaching practice that uses students’ prior knowledge of art making as the means to guide interpretation of art in the museum. This study develops touring methods that maintain the identity of the student artists in the context of adult artists’ works in the museum. This investigation is an action-based research study of how a museum educator can develop touring practice to use art objects to enable students to think reflectively on their art making. The results of this study identify the characteristics of an art museum tour that is centered on students and art making. This study demonstrates a framework for teaching in the museum that incorporates constructivist learning theory, social and active learning, a concepts-based approach to art learning, and develops student cognition. / text

Nowdays, cultural institutions use modern ways how to communicate to people. Institutions tend to be interactive and engaging attendes to expositions. Technological improvements bring even new kinds of art pieces presentation. Thesis focuses on virtual gallery concept, called Google Art Project. Concept brings selected art pieces from art colection institutions. Google Art Project has given opportunity to use high quality technology to upload institutional works for free. In fact platform enables closer interaction than before. Work gives complex understanding on project technical and organisational point of view. Further focuses on Czech Google partnership organisations, stress is put on mutual perception of cooperation, technological tasks, views, whole project contribution and at the same time on Google Cultural Institute communication.

Ces travaux de thèses portent sur l’étude de la dynamique du laser à mode de galerie dans le but de réaliser une source micro-onde en utilisant un laser à mode de galerie doublement monomode. Nous montrons ici les résultats expérimentaux sur le bruit relatif d’intensité (RIN) d’un laser à mode de galerie en verre ZBLALiP dopé aux ions Er3+. Outre l’aspect performances d’utilisation du laser, le spectre de RIN donne un certain nombre d’informations sur la dynamique du laser (temps de vie des photons, taux de pompage effectif, sources de bruit, ...).Les très forts facteur de qualités de ces résonateurs ainsi que leurs propriétés de confinement spatial amène un couplage non-linéaire etre les photons et les atomes du milieu amplificateur, faisant apparaitre dans le spectre de RIN des harmoniques de la fréquence de relaxation du laser. Le modèle harmonique développé permet d’estimer le volume de mode du mode de galerie en régime laser, quantité difficilement estimable dans ce régime d’émission. D’autre part, les mesures de RIN réalisées sur un verre industriel IOG-1 codopé Yb3+/Er3+ montrent la signature d’un couplage modal, induit par la diffusion Rayleigh, où les deux modes couplés fonctionnent au dessus du seuil laser. La dynamique de ce laser est également étudié et les comportements obtenus sont mis en parallèle avec les études réalisées sur le gyro-Laser à l’état solide. / This thesis presents the studies of whispering gallery mode laser dynamics in order to realize a micro-wave source using simultaneous oscillations in a unique whispering gallery mode micro-laser. We show experimental results on the relative intensity noise (RIN) of a Whispering Gallery Mode Laser in ZBLALiP glass doped with Er3+ ions. Besides the pure laser specifications, the RIN spectrum gives informations about the dynamics inside the cavity, such as photon lifetime, effective pumping rate and noise sources. Moreover, we have shown that a single-mode emission comes with the presence of multiple harmonics of the relaxation frequency. The theoretical model taking account the non-linear coupling between photons and atoms allows us to determine the mode volume of the whispering gallery mode in laser regime, which is quite difficult to evaluate in this regime. On the other hand, we have studied the laser dynamics in an industrial IOG-1 glass codoped with Yb3+/Er3+ ions where the signature of a modal coupling, induced by Rayleigh scattering, lies in the RIN spectrum. In this particular case, the two coupled modes operate above threshold. The observed behavior is compared with thoses of a solid state gyro-laser.

This thesis attempts to analyze the emergence of private art galleries in Turkey by focusing on specifically the three art galleries, namely Gallery Milar, Helikon Society&rsquo / s Gallery, and Society of Artlovers&rsquo / Gallery that were opened in Ankara during 1950s. To this aim, both the artistic movements and governmental policies regarding the artistic field are mentioned from a historical point of view. Interviews, analysis of relevant literature, examining periodical magazines, and daily newspapers constitute the main sources of data collecting. In conclusion, in the light of our findings it is decided that the formation of art market and emergence of art galleries in Turkey have quite different characteristics from the western example as a result of its own social, cultural and economic dynamics in the historical frame.
