Barbora Klímová

Barbora Klímová

Barbora Klímová is an artist, performer and a graduate of the Fine Arts Faculty of the Technical University. She is a laureate of the Jindřich Chalupecký Prize for the year 2006, which she won for her performance. She gave her project the name Replaced. It was about a work by five Czech performers from the 1970s and 1980s, which she brought up to date. For example, she planted a flower in a gap between cobblestones at the Brno Nový Špalíček Cultural Centre, and she spent a night by a tree at Moravian Square in Brno, where she lay down between people with her head towards the ground.

The creation of the separate Department of Graphic Design at the Fine Arts University in Bratislava in 1999 is attributed to him.

Radana Lencová

Radana Lencová

During her studies at the Fine Arts Faculty, Radana Lencová was interested in creative approaches to work with letters, both creative (optical, illuminated, photographic) and purely typographical (she created her own alphabet styles: Bubble font, Golem, Poisson, Sonáta, Mimikry, etc.). Since 2000 she has been cooperating with the Svět publishing company as a graphic designer. For her work for that publisher, she has received awards, including the prize for the Most Beautiful Czech Book, Photography Publication of the Year and others. During her doctoral studies, she proposed a new school font called Comenia Script for elementary schools, which has become part of the typographical project Comenia - Czech school font (Brousil, Lencová, Štorm).
