No joint study programme.

The two-year full-time master's programme responds to the dynamic changes and new global challenges facing contemporary art in the 21st century. We perceive contemporary art from a historical perspective with regard to the discontinuity of the history of art in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as from the point of view of current methodologies. Our goal is to stimulate the exploration of art in dialogue with new media theory, critical theory, geopolitics, anthropology. The study responds to the stimuli brought by the creation and transformation of art institutions - galleries, museums and the art market, and the related demand for educated and well-informed experts. At the same time, we fill gaps in the gaps of higher education in this area and aim to train graduates prepared for the practice of contemporary art, design and architecture. The programme enables students to develop a profile that results from the specific environment and variety of studio practice at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. In addition to thematically focused courses on interpretation strategies in the field of contemporary visual art, design and architecture, issues of Slovak visual art, seminars in the field of aesthetics and philosophy, we offer the possibility of gaining practical experience in the field of curating, reviewing and reflecting on contemporary art. The programme is intended for those students of humanities who wish to deepen their theoretical and practical skills in broad-spectrum work with contemporary art. We emphasize critical thinking, communication skills in working with the public, improvement of verbal and written expression, empathy, sensitivity and passion for art as a tool for social change. The courses are conducted under the guidance of renowned experts, in a creative environment alongside artists active on the local and international scene. With regard to the personal profile of graduates, we offer a wide range of optional subjects, which are provided not only by teachers of the Department of Theory and History of Art, but also by external experts from practice. In addition, students have the opportunity to choose studio practice at the department that corresponds to their professional focus, or they can choose a subject at one of the related faculties (FF VŠMU, FiF UK). The first year of the master's degree is devoted to orientation in the interpretive contexts of contemporary art, design and architecture, thematic and problematic areas of fine art in Slovakia, art criticism and theory, and curatorial studies. In the second year of study, practice-oriented subjects predominate, and students have the opportunity to choose a composition of courses in such a way as to direct them to resolving an individual thesis assignment.

Graduates of the study programme are led to critical attitudes towards social issues of contemporary culture. With their civic attitude, they actively contribute to the protection of cultural heritage and the environment not only for themselves, but also for future generations. Graduates understand the idea of citizenship, democracy, social justice, foreign cultures, the rights of other persons, different cultural needs and values. In connection with this, they are ready to explore and deepen their knowledge of the chosen field of art on which they focus. They can critically perceive the functioning of cultural institutions, self-governments and the state. Graduates can analyze the causes and consequences of regional and global problems. The specific contribution of graduates of the AFAD is connecting the theory and history of art to practical cooperation within the framework of education in the fields of fine arts. This establishment of cooperation together with a theoretical and historical perspective leads graduates to deepen the critical reflection of visual aspects of public and media space. Graduates can independently evaluate the role of art in the media and in society, including internet platforms and social networks. They know how to responsibly and on the basis of their qualifications co-create this environment in accordance with relevant international obligations and national legislation.

Graduates of the study programme are prepared to work in institutions whose focus is the presentation of contemporary visual culture and art - galleries, museums and the art market at the national, regional, non-governmental and private levels. The programme trains graduates prepared for the exhibition practice of contemporary art, design and architecture, and at the same time enables graduates to specialise, which results from the specific environment and variety of studio practice at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. The acquired qualification enables graduates to apply in professions such as curator, mediator, organiser, editor, teacher or researcher in the field.

Mandatory only for regulated professions. The History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme is not a programme requiring the conditions of a regulated profession.

History and Praxis of Contemporary Art is a study programme in which the AFAD has prepared a structure according to which it will gather and monitor data and evaluation reports on the employability of future graduates:

a. Survey for graduates (work in the field, area, form). The survey is created and monitored by the Academic Senate of the AFAD.

b. Visibility monitoring (exhibition, reviews, professional and public media of graduates, as well as students). (Monitored by the Office for Quality.)

c. Statistical information from the offices of labour. (Monitored by the Office for Quality.)

d. Information from relevant institutions and external experts (Monitored by the Office for Quality.)

In the academic year 2019/2020, the first 3 graduates completed the study programme. From their current activities, we get the impression that they have employed themselves in the field and are actively participating in the creation and critical evaluation of the art scene and cultural environment. Upon request, the AFAD will submit to the reviewers the outputs of successful graduates, whose outputs are regularly monitored by the AFAD through media monitoring (TASR) and on the basis of its own monitoring through the Office for Quality of the AFAD.

At this point, we do not present feedback from employers, as employer representatives are members of the AFAD Accreditation Board.

The study plan of the History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme is developed by the main responsible teacher of the study programme: on the basis of group working meetings with the teachers of the given study programme (Prof. PhDr. Marián Zervan CSc., Prof. PhDr. Zdenko Kolesár, doc. Mgr. Daniel Grúň, PhD, doc. Mgr. Bohunka Koklesová, PhD, doc. Mgr. Ladislav Tkáčik, PhD.), but also with other teachers who participate in teaching in the given study programme. A representative of the student part of the academic community is part of the working meetings, and an expert from an external environment may also be invited. In addition to thematically focused courses on the history and theory of modern and contemporary art, design and architecture, seminars in the field of aesthetics and philosophy, we offer the possibility of gaining practical experience in the field of curating, reviewing and reflecting on contemporary art. The programme is intended for those students of humanities who wish to deepen their theoretical and practical skills in broad-spectrum work with contemporary art. We emphasise critical thinking, communication skills in working with the public, improvement of verbal and written expression, empathy and sensitivity, passion for art as a tool for social change. The courses are conducted under the guidance of renowned experts, in a creative environment alongside artists active on the local and international scene. With regard to the personal profile of graduates, we offer a wide range of optional subjects, which are provided not only by teachers of the Department of Theory and History of Art, but also by external experts from practice. In addition, students have the opportunity to choose studio practice at the department that corresponds to their professional focus, or they can choose a subject at one of the related faculties (FF VŠMU, FiF UK). The first year of the master's degree is devoted to orientation in the interpretive contexts of contemporary art, design and architecture, thematic and problematic areas of fine art in Slovakia, art criticism and theory, and curatorial studies. In the second year of study, practice-oriented subjects predominate, and students have the opportunity to choose a composition of courses in such a way as to direct them to the preparation of an individual thesis assignment.

In the History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme, profile subjects are focused on three basic profile areas: 1) critical evaluation of scientific and professional text; 2) interpretation and analysis of a selected work of contemporary art; 3) knowledge of museum critical theory and curatorial strategies together with the history and practice of gallery work. Therefore, the professional content of the programme consists of one three-semester subject and two two-semester subjects, the profiling of which directs students to the realisation of a diploma thesis and the successful passing of the state exam. Profile subjects are: 1) Criticism and theory of modern and contemporary art I., II.; 2) Interpretation frameworks of contemporary art I., II.. III.; 3) Curatorial studies I., II.. The aim and content of the named profile subjects is to guarantee students' access to current knowledge in the field of history and theory of modern and contemporary art, theory of visual culture and curatorship. Profile subjects lead future graduates to acquire skills in critical analysis and interpretation of images in the field of visual culture. Equally important is mastering the skills of critical reading, creative writing, and the presentation of their own opinions in a group discussion, which together lead to the competence of working with the public in the preparation of cultural events and the creative implementation of exhibition projects. These knowledge and skills are synthetically combined into the competencies of independent creative and critical work in the field of visual art and in the environment of cultural institutions focused on visual art. To the three profile subjects mentioned above, the curricula of which ensure the content of state exam questions, are added subjects focused on the Interpretation frameworks of late modern and contemporary architectureI, II, III., Interpretation and forms of contemporary design I., II, III. as well as Studio practice I., II., III. The aim of the Studio Practice is to connect theoretical knowledge with the practical experience in the preparation and realisation of cultural events, in direct contact with the art studios of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. At the same time, the subject Studio practice gives the opportunity to carry out an internship at another artistic or cultural institution focused on the presentation of visual arts. The studio practice is a professional practice, and therefore gives the students of the programme the opportunity to enter into an intensive dialogue with a freely chosen studio, its teachers and students, to participate in their artistic, research and presentation activities in close connection to their own profiling and subsequently also the selection and working on a topic of their diploma thesis. Compulsory subjects are complemented by the compulsory subjects dealing with issues and the history of the studied discipline: Gallery practice in contemporary art and design, Issues of Slovak visual arts I., II. (with emphasis on art of the 20th and 21st centuries) and Diploma Seminar I., II. which is focused on a specific profiled topic and methodology of the students' thesis. The diploma thesis is chosen on the basis of communication with the teachers of the Department of Theory and History of Art, who choose the topics based on their own research projects and professional profiling (see responsible teachers). The diploma thesis must meet the norms, standards and criteria valid for humanities departments of universities.

See more detailed information in the table in the appendix: Study plan.

The History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme is complemented by the compulsory subjects which provide an expansion of knowledge in narrowly and specifically focused areas of applied art (Applied Art in Text and Context), fine arts (Selected chapters from contemporary photography), architecture (History of architectural theories and criticism), restoration (Interpretive frameworks of restoration work), collecting (Chapters of the history of collecting), as well as theoretical frameworks in relation to specific philosophical topics (French philosophy of the last decades), culture (Philosophy of culture) and aesthetics (Schools of aesthetic thought). One of the subjects also focuses on working with text, argumentative and conceptual thinking expressed verbally or in writing (Reading, writing, argumentation). The existing curriculum is complemented by subjects focused on practical experience in the field of cultural and managerial work (Cultural Management I, II). The content also includes a subject improving foreign language knowledge (English conversation).

A complementary group of a compulsory basics and compulsory optional subjects are optional subjects, through which students have the opportunity to transfer to other study programmes at the AFAD (Fundamentals of painting, Fundamentals of photography, Fundamentals of design, Design and build - fundamentals of architectural creation, etc.). These subjects provide students with contact with practical creation and strategies of artistic thinking and research. This group also includes a subject enabling direct practice in an external environment aimed at a wider field of cultural professions. Optional subjects are enriched by a number of subjects that, through workshops, courses, excursions and short-term education, dynamically respond to current topics and also lead to practical application, as well as orientation in the legal and economic components of culture (Implementation of a curatorial project, Copyright law).

Part of the education in the History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme is the possibility of an internship and supplementary internship in the local and foreign scene, which within the framework of education bring students direct contact with a professional environment in which they acquire practical experience and skills. The internship is also an opportunity for students to gain new professional contacts and connections, as well as theoretical experience with benefits after graduation. At the same time, foreign mobility in the form of internships at foreign partner schools is encouraged, where they are positively confronted with educational experiences in a different cultural and social environment. Here they also confront their work in the international field and have the opportunity to become part of international artistic and cultural networks.

As part of the wider educational process, master's students are integrated into ongoing research projects at the AFAD in the form of direct application to education or through publication and other presentation activities, which are also supported by grant systems (especially KEGA - Cultural and Educational Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic).

The evaluation of the quality of the results and the course of the master's study takes place: through continuous control of the study results during the semester (control stages of the subject, partial assignments, seminar work, paper, test, control questions, etc.). At the end of the semester (semester evaluation - semester exam).

Information about the ratio between the evaluation during and at the end of the semester students obtain from the Information Document of Subject. The students' study results from different subjects are evaluated within the course of the study using a six-level grade scale, consisting of five ECTS merit classification levels.

Thus, students will receive the specified credits for the subject if their results were evaluated in the range of grades A-E. Students will not receive credits for a subject if their results were graded FX. The teacher can divide the evaluation of the subject into control stages of the subject. It is possible to give a part of the subject evaluation for individual stages, i.e. by completing the stages, students secure a percentage of the overall (in the case of departmental evaluation of the studio and preparatory course: proposed by the supervisor) evaluation for the semester. Conditions and criteria for passing subjects within the study programme are given in advance and recorded in information documents of subjects. The final completion of the programme is conditioned by the submission and successful defence of the theoretical diploma thesis. The diploma thesis is the result of an independent research activity. The topic and concept of the work is determined by graduates in cooperation with supervisors. The concept is presented and approved by the department at the beginning of the second year. At the same time, the department will determine the control stages of the work progress during the semester for graduate students and propose thesis opponents. The thesis defence takes place in the form of a presentation of the work of graduate students and a debate. The defence is open to the public. Its course is determined by the rector's implementing regulation.

The submitted diploma thesis is registered and archived in the AFAD academic library and in the Central Register of Final Theses.

The conditions as well as the formulated questions of the theory state exam are published in advance. The state exam has two areas: 1. History of the studied discipline and 2. Theory of the studied discipline. Students draw one question from each block. If students receive an FX for an answer on the state exam, they have one correction date. If they get an FX evaluation from only one block of questions, they repeat only that block. If students repeatedly receive an FX rating, they are expelled from the study programme due to failure to meet the conditions of the study programme.

Rules for verification of educational outcomes:

The evaluation of the quality of the results and the course of the master's degree takes place:

Continuous control of study results during the semester (control stages of the subject, partial assignments, seminar work, paper, test, control questions, etc.)

At the end of the semester (semester evaluation – ​​semester exam)

Information about the ratio between the evaluation during and at the end of the semester students obtain from the information documents of subject. The students' study results from different subjects are evaluated within the course of the study using a six-level grade scale, consisting of five ECTS merit classification levels.

Thus, students will receive the specified credits for the subject if their results were evaluated in the range of grades A-E. Students will not receive credits for a subject if their results were evaluated with an FX grade. Teachers can divide the evaluation of the subject into control stages of the subject. It is possible to give a part of the subject evaluation for individual stages, i.e. by completing the stages students secure a percentage of the overall (in the case of departmental evaluation of the studio and preparatory course: proposed by the supervisor) evaluation for the semester.

All three profile subjects of the study programme are continuously evaluated by three to four teachers, depending on a subject and its specifics. In the study schedule and in the timetable, pedagogues are assigned as teachers to individual profile subjects as follows (they also ensure the evaluation of students): Criticism and theory of modern and contemporary art I. and II. (Mgr. Norbert Lacko, PhD., Mgr. Ján Kralovič, PhD., doc. Mgr. Daniel Grúň, PhD., prof. PhDr. Marián Zervan, PhD.), Curatorial Studies I. and II. (prof. Monika Mitášová, PhD., Mgr. Ján Kralovič, PhD., doc. Mgr. Daniel Grúň, PhD., prof. PhDr. Zdenko Kolesár, PhD.) Interpretation frameworks of contemporary art I. and II., III., (Mgr. Beata Jablonská, PhD., doc. Daniel Grúň, PhD., doc. Mgr. Bohunka Koklesová, Mgr., Silvia Seneši Lutherová, PhD., Mgr. Ján Kralovič, PhD.).

1. The evaluation of the students' study results within the study of the subject is mainly carried out:

a) continuous control of study results in different subjects during the courses part of the study -, specified in more detail in the ILP (information documents of subjects),

b) examination for the given period of study, in the case of profile theoretical subjects: commission examination by three to four responsible teachers: Criticism and theory of modern and contemporary art I. and II. (Mgr. Norbert Lacko, PhD., Mgr. Ján Kralovič, PhD., doc. Mgr. Daniel Grúň, PhD., prof. PhDr. Marián Zervan, PhD.), Curatorial Studies I. and II. (prof. Monika Mitášová, PhD., Mgr. Ján Kralovič, PhD., doc. Mgr. Daniel Grúň, PhD., prof. PhDr. Zdenko Kolesár, PhD.) Interpretation frameworks of contemporary art I. and II., III. (Mgr. Beata Jablonská, PhD., doc. Mgr. Daniel Grúň, PhD. doc. Mgr. Bohunka Koklesová, PhD., Mgr. Silvia Seneši Lutherová, PhD., Mgr. Ján Kralovič, PhD).

2. Grade evaluation is classified according to the classification scale determined by Decree no. 614/2002 Coll., while the qualification scale has six classification levels:

A – excellent (excellent results) = 1

B – very good (above average results) = 1.5

C – good (average results) = 2

D – satisfactory (acceptable results) = 2.5

E – sufficient (results meet the minimum criteria) = 3

FX - Insufficient (more work required) = 4

3. Students who were evaluated with the grade FX have the right to two correction terms as long as they fulfil the conditions of the continuous evaluation. If students were evaluated with grade FX from Diploma thesis (consultation, preparation) and met the conditions of the interim evaluation, they are entitled to one correction term.

4. The conditions as well as the formulated questions of the state theoretical exam are published in advance. The state exam has two areas: 1. History of the studied discipline and 2. Theory of the studied discipline. Students draw one question from each block. If students receive an FX for an answer on the state exam, they have one correction term. If they get an FX evaluation from only one block of questions, they repeat only that block. If students repeatedly receive an FX rating, they are expelled from the study programme due to failure to meet the conditions of the study programme.

Students can apply for the recognition of subjects they completed in another study programme at another university. Subjects completed at another university are recognized by the AFAD on the basis of a statement of study results prepared for students by the given university and by submitting an application on the prescribed form of the AFAD (exact instructions are contained in the Application for recognition of subjects form). Recognition of subjects is bound for a period of 5 years from their completion. The recognition of subjects is assessed by the teacher or the main responsible teacher of the study programme History and Praxis of Contemporary Art who ensures its teaching, based on a list of study results and a comparison of the ILP or otherwise described educational content of the given subject. Based on the proposal of the guarantor of the History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme, the vice-rector for study affairs recognizes completed subjects. In the master's degree, credits obtained for completing a subject in the bachelor's degree cannot be recognized. As a rule, subjects with an E grade are also not recognized. The statement of study results and the decision on the recognition of subjects become part of the student's personal study documentation, maintained by the AFAD.

The form and method of study is defined in the AFAD Study Regulations (Article 3, Forms and methods of study, points 5 to 8).

The AFAD mostly uses a combined method of education, which is indicated in the ILP (Information Document of Subject), even if the education takes place completely by distance. When changing the method of teaching a subject, its content is discussed in advance with the study programme guarantor and then with the vice-rector for academic affairs at a predetermined time (usually May–June of the previous academic year when the study plan and content of individual ILPs are checked for the next academic year). Complete distance education at the AFAD is implemented by order of the rector, especially in extraordinary situations (for example, when a state of emergency is declared).

The given study programme is defined as an academically oriented, artistic type of study, but at the same time the AFAD has created a mechanism for internships and supplementary internships, within which it cooperates with various types of institutions and companies in the local and foreign scene. In addition to permanent partners, cooperation with other partners is currently being approved. Procedures are published on the academy's website and study guide (bedeker).

The Medium Gallery and the AFAD library are used for social and cultural activities under the auspices of the AFAD. The Medium Gallery is primarily a space for exhibition activities of students and teachers. Often associated with organising lectures and discussions on current or historically important cultural, artistic and social topics. The activities of the AFAD Library are focused on public presentations of books, with lectures and discussions with authors. Both the gallery and the library serve as an open space for mutual interdisciplinary communication both within the departments and with various cultural subjects outside the academy.

Another important facility of the AFAD is the Communication and Visualisation Learning Centre in Kremnica, which the academy uses for creative workshops and block education. The learning centre has accommodation facilities, lecture rooms, digital technologies and material resources. The facility is intensively used for workshops, conferences, seminars and meetings with foreign partner educational institutions and stimulates internationalisation, interaction and concentrated creative activity in a group. Thanks to its favourable geographical location, the training centre is used for sports activities in nature as part of creative stays.

History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme as new programme joins Erasmus+ mobility programmes (projects KA103 and KA107), CEEPUS, programmes based on bilateral agreements and the possibilities of the National Scholarship Program focused on student, pedagogical and non-pedagogical mobility. In addition to standard mobilities, students also participate in other art and research projects, in which the AFAD creates joint international platforms with selected foreign partners and collaborates on specific artistic, exhibition, presentation, research and innovation tasks and projects. For the mobility of the study programme Conservation and Restoration and gaining international experience, the AFAD has created a wide network of partnerships in most countries of the European Union, partner countries outside the EU in Europe (Western Balkan countries, Ukraine, Georgia), Asia (China, Japan, India, Israel, Turkey ) and America (USA, Mexico). At the same time, students of the study programme History and Praxis of Contemporary Art will have the opportunity to take advantage of a number of international workshops, lectures, seminars, educational courses and meetings of visiting foreign teachers at our school.

Students of the study programme History and Praxis of Contemporary Art will have the opportunity to profit from the activities of important international networks of which the AFAD is a part (Cumulus, ELIA).

In addition to study stays, artistic research and presentation activities, students of the History and Praxis of Contemporary Art study programme have the opportunity to use internships in selected galleries and cultural institutions.

All options, instructions and rules are made available and updated in detail on the academy's website, and at the same time they are anchored in the AFAD's internal regulations - the rector's directive: Implementation of the ERASMUS+ program at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava.

The programme is intended for those students of humanities who wish to deepen their theoretical and practical skills in broad-spectrum work with contemporary art. They should have a basic knowledge of the history and theory of art ranging from antiquity to the present. They should have an overview of the methods and auxiliary disciplines of art sciences. Also, the broader foundations of education, consisting of philosophy, aesthetics and humanities subjects, and to master at least one foreign language at the level of professional communication.

Admission exams for the master's degree last for one day and are held in front of the admissions committee, which is made up of teachers.

Applicants must submit a CV and a written essay of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 standard pages. The range of topics and issues is sent to applicants in advance. In the essay, they are expected to comment on the following topics: a) which artworks they consider close to their view of art, b) which books, including art-historical or films about artists, they have read or seen, c) which exhibitions they have visited or they remember what attracted them from the artistic and curatorial side, d) which artists, periods and trends they would like to learn about and why, e) what sense do they see in the work of a historian and theoretician and curator of contemporary art in today's world. The commission will evaluate the submitted texts and judges the candidates' assumptions in an individual interview.

Admission exams are:

Reliable - applicants must demonstrate the results of their studies at the bachelor's degree in their work portfolios, they must have a clearly defined concept that they want to focus on at the master's degree, and they must demonstrate maturity for studies in the interview in front of the committee.

Fair – collective evaluation of the results of admission exams, discussion of applicants' works and discussion with applicants is a guarantee of a fair evaluation of all applicants.

Transparent - conditions, criteria, methods and procedures for accepting and selecting applicants are published on the academy's website and refined and updated every year.
