Mgr. Pomfyová Bibiana PhD. |
| Annotation: | Parishes are among the religious institutions with the longest tradition. Parish churches have been, and in many places still are today, among the most important architectural buildings in and around which the life of a given community unfolds. The aim of the present project is a cultural and historical analysis of parish churches in Slovakia in the medieval period, when around 700 parishes were established on our territory. Many of them are still standing today and several of them are among our most important monuments. The subject of the interdisciplinary analysis will be the architecture of parish churches in its social and functional concepts. The results of the project will be evaluated in an inventory of medieval churches in Slovakia as well as in a final scientific monograph.

The Contexts of Slovak and Czech Visual Art in the Latter of the 20th Century Illustrated by Selected Neo-avant-garde Tendenciesd
Kontexty slovenského a českého výtvarného umenia v druhej polovici 20. storočia na príklade vybraných neoavantgardných tendencií

Mgr. Bartošová Zuzana Ph.D. |
| Annotation: | The grant critically focuses on the established form of the period of the second half of the 20th century of Slovak and Czech art history. More profound research with attention to lesser-known artists' programmes and with the help of classical methodological procedures will attempt an innovative interpretation of the given issue, in which the context of dating and publication of specific artworks will be important, taking into account the different specifics of the cultural and social situation in each part of the country. In particular, it will clarify the contribution of individual personalities of the alternative or unofficial art scene, which was formed in Slovakia and the Czech Republic during the so-called normalisation. In recent years, it has been the focus of attention not only of domestic but also of foreign researchers, while many connections remain hidden, often creating a false image of our recent past that marginalizes some of the concrete authors, with the exception of those who have been accepted by the international scene and art market.

Slovak Audiovisual Production in Contexts of the Late Socialism and Postsocialism
Podoby slovenskej audiovizuálnej tvorby v súvislostiach neskorého socializmu a postsocializmu
| Duration: |
1.1.2021 - 31.12.2023 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
doc. Mgr. Dudková Jana PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project is focused on basic research of the Slovak audiovisual - especially television and cinematic - production in contexts of late- and post-socialism. The researchers will focus especially on defining continuities and discontinuities between the eras, in terms of themes, stylistic devices, productional and distributional relations, in domestic and international contexts. This focus should also help to understand contemporary audiovisual production more profoundly. |

Temporality ikonológie
| Duration: |
1.1.2023 - 31.12.2026 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
prof. PhDr. Gerát Ivan PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project aims to map and analyze the various temporal modalities of iconology in its ideological, thematic, and historical-social contexts and concerning its perspectives as a research method developed in a lively relationship to contemporary developmental tendencies of imagery and visual culture, and fine art. The cross-cutting methodological studies primarily focus on the following issues: 1, historical time and historical memory in relation to the interpretation of visual culture (historical ruptures, past futures); 2, lived time in the creative experience of both artists and recipients of the image (processualism of creation, the organization of the viewer's time, exceptional situations and exceptional moments); 3, the representation of time in pictorial narratives (at the level of pictorial theme and historical construct); 4, anachronisms in the history of images and their interpretations; 5, the ideological horizons of iconological studies and their historical mutability. |
Creation and Crique of Values in Contemporary Arts (Visual Arts, Theater, Film)
Tvorba a kritika hodnôt v súčasnom umení (výtvarné umenie, divadlo, film)
| Duration: |
1.7.2020 - 24.6.2024 |
| Program: |

| Project leader: |
doc. Mgr. Grúň Daniel PhD. |
| Annotation: | Value creation in contemporary art is related to the search for ways out of the social and cultural crisis, proposing alternative solutions and testing of their possibilities. The project builds on current art historical studies in the power fields of images. It deals with following questions: What forces influence and shape imagery? What media and in what forms this imagery materializes in contemporary visual arts, contemporary theater and contemporary film? Based on a critical review of current art history methodologies, the project focuses on exploring imagery in contemporary arts. The processes analyzed are in relation to technological progress, the distribution of knowledge, and the related relativizing of consensual conventions in the truth production processes. The project has the ambition to identify, define and further explore value systems in contemporary art in relation to a free society in the context of neoliberal capitalism. We will look for answers to questions about what art can be critical in the era of market mechanism governance, how art disrupts or restores traditional or otherwise established values in relation to responsibility of individuals with respect to society and the world, culture and history. What or who is the arbiter of these values and how do the values created by contemporary art relate to the themes of today's world (migration, climate change, ethics of truth)? In the past three decades, history of arts and related disciplines have been confronted with discontinuities in the evolution of the art in ideologically divided world, as well as with the cultural decolonization. It is one of the project's priorities to explore Slovak contemporary art in an international context. The artistic practices that have taken active positions after 1989 will be compared in relation to the reflection of controversial historical events and related to the determining themes of collective existence. |
Visual Sources on the History of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th Century
Vizuálne pramene k dejinám Uhorského kráľovstva v 16. storočí
| Duration: |
1.1.2022 - 31.12.2025 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Kucharská Veronika PhD. |
| Annotation: | The presented project aims to research visual sources related to the history of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th century. The project will focus on sources for significant events in our history in this period, which can be described as a turning point in several aspects: the year 1526 with the Battle of Mohács, referred to as the end of the Middle Ages and early modern age, the struggle for the Hungarian royal crown between two Hungarian kings, the occupation of the Central European area by the Ottomans and the resulting mutual confrontation and interactions of Christian and Muslim power and culture. We will look at these and other important historical events through the visual production of domestic artists of the (Central) European area and the view of the then enemy of the Kingdom of Hungary through sets of Ottoman miniatures. Thanks to the chosen approach and methodology of visual history, the used views of known events can be illuminated from several sides, thus offering an extension and updating of interpretive possibilities. The project intends to provide a more comprehensive and plastic historical-cultural view of this period in the form of a scientific monograph accessible to a broader range of readers. |
