The concept of completion is based on the creation of a raster that can be freely adapted to the requirements of individual departments of schools. This creates a system that does not limit the faculty in their future development. The base unit becomes a "big" studio, suitable for example for sculptors. This is a open space hall with high ceiling. It is possible to insert a space into this space and split the space into smaller studios suitable for work with computers and similar

The aim of this work is to research the relationships between abstract musical space and physical space, to explore the various possibilities of connecting sound, light and matter in space, their interaction and unfolding over time. The knowledge and outputs will later be applied in the design of a cultural object providing a visual and acoustic experience with an emphasis on human perception.

Kopřivnice as a town that is waking up from the past. There are many places with a potential to be a quality place for a culture, bussines or housing.

Starting this semester, Charles C. Sherrod Library at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) began shifting our SelectedWorks service model from an opt-in (we create profiles for faculty who send us their CV) process to a quicker and easier opt-out (we create profiles for all faculty) model. Our lightning talk will provide an overview of this opt-out model and how we laid the groundwork for its success. We started by engendering support amongst the Deans, Faculty Senate, and University Research Council, detailing the benefits of a university-wide profile service and assuaging any fears or concerns that an opt-out model might generate regarding utility and privacy. We also undertook a substantial harvesting project as part of this project using Digital Common's PubMed and Scopus integration to harvest thousands of ETSU-affiliated records into our repository. We create these "instant profiles" by aggregating publicly assessable information (such as contact information, education, etc.) from available sources such as university departmental pages, LinkedIn, ResearchGate, etc. to complete their "About" information without needing a copy of their CV. We then import all available works into the profile from the aforementioned harvesting project. Once completed, we email the faculty member in question and give them two weeks to accept or decline their profile before going "live." This will greatly expand the reach of our department's service and further integrate our portion of the library into the academic community of the university.

This paper presents the development of the curatorial research project Black Box, which was established in the spring of 2020 in the Brno TIC Gallery to support contemporary art and artists at a time when artists and cultural institutions were affected by the existential crisis caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. This experimental archive, which initially appeared to be temporary, has been developing its activities for a second year in a row. This text aims to provide a report on the ongoing remakes and postproductions of this archive and present various curatorial interventions carried out on the archived works of the participating artists. We observe a shift of exhibition institutions towards community centres with a diversified program, raising their social awareness and critical self-reflection, and building new means of communication on the axis of the artist-spectator. Especially in the latter area, creating and enabling access to an art archive is an essential tool.

The E. B. Crocker Art Gallery of Sacramento is the oldest public art museum in the West. The author of this study, a Sacramentan, has long been interested in the history of this institution, how was the collection assembled? What is its value? How did it come to Sacramento? What is the nature of the California museum Association which is the custodian of the collection, This paper is an attempt to answer these questions. The answers are not as complete as the author might wish, but they are as complete as extant records and accounts allow. This study provides a more accurate history of the collection and the gallery than has sometimes been given in previous accounts. A review of past recommendations of authoritative persons acquainted with the institution is also given in order to present an idea of its future possibilities.

This thesis examines how techniques from place marketing, developed to market places, can be used in the process of designing a visual identity for an institution. The thesis is a case study of the development of a new visual identity for the public art institution Malmö konsthall. The essay presents Malmö Konsthall, defines the term visual identity and describes the main principles in place branding. I then define target audiences and key values, discuss the application of place marketing principle and go through the design process of the new visual identity. The process showed that theories about flagship buildings, signature design and signature districts have the biggest influence on the design. The conclusion is that theories from place marketing can be valuable tools for graphic designers, and would benefit from being explored further. Several strategies in place marketing function, mainly those relating to environment and architecture, can be of direct benefit to the designer.

This thesis discusses the Old Philadelphia Development Corporation (OPDC), a public-private redevelopment agency, and its work in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s promoting the redevelopment of several areas and neighborhoods located in the Center City district of downtown Philadelphia. Leading up to and during its involvement in the planning of the Market Street East (formerly, East Market Street) and The Gallery mall projects, the OPDC imposed on its ventures a set myths about the city's place within the American legend, Market Street's history as a majestic shopping corridor, and the centrality of Philadelphia's downtown to the metropolitan region. It did so as a means for controlling various aspects of Center City urban renewal and for bringing suburbanites back downtown to shop and enjoy leisure time. This thesis argues that although these myths remembered East Market Street as the domain of middle class and affluent whites, the OPDC ignored the realities of changing metropolitan economic, cultural, and population trends in favor of adherence to its self-created narrative, leading the corporation and its redevelopment cohort to make many miscalculations and missteps in its attempts to revitalize the area. / History
