The exhibition presents works by 30 students in two exhibition spaces of GVUO. Seven exhibitors come from the Painting I studio led by Daniel Balabán; six students represent the Painting II studio under František Kowolowski. Four students present work from the Free Graphics studio of Eduard Ovčáček and the Drawing studio of Eduard Halberštát. Two students come from the Packaging Design studio led by Petra Krupíková. The Intermedia Arts studio is represented by two graduates. The Sculpture studio at the Faculty of Fine Arts of OU, led by Mario Kotrba (born 1959), is represented by one student. Two female students exhibit from the Graphic Design studio of Pavel Noga.

This representative sample of diploma works not only introduces the public to the results of the master’s degree study program but also presents the field’s educational possibilities in the context of the individual approaches of the students and their engagement with current or general aesthetic and philosophical topics.

The exhibition curator, František Kowolowski, also emphasizes that presenting in a public institution is important for students’ self-reflection as emerging professionals. The exhibition should also highlight the justification and understanding of the work’s intention and, as a whole, enable visitors to gain insight into certain trends and educational models of OU.
