Course detail
FaVU-VUBAI-ZAcad. year: 2022/2023
The thematic focus of the lectures is oriented towards the introduction of important Brno personalities from the ranks of visual artists and architects, whose activity falls into the period between 1948-1989. Specifically, the development of cooperation between architects and artists during the period of socialist realism in the 1950s, the creative liberation of the 1960s and the period of normalisation in Czechoslovakia will be presented. Attention will also be paid to the activities of union organisations and the legislative anchoring of the mutual cooperation between artists and architects - i.e. the cultural and political climate of post-war Czechoslovakia, the development of which had a major influence on the so-called official creation. The semester-long course will include an field trip, which will take the form of a guided tour in situ.
