Maria Bartuszová: Being Nature
Touchable plaster sculptures by Maria Bartuszová at Mirbach Palace, plus a Haptic Studio where visitors can make work themselves.
About the event
The Bratislava City Gallery presents Maria Bartuszová, one of the most distinctive Slovak sculptors of the twentieth century, at Mirbach Palace. The exhibition explores the relationship between people and nature through abstract, organic shapes.
Bartuszová believed that form carries emotion: sharp shapes feel cold, while rounded, touching forms suggest warmth and an embrace.
