Museum Kampa presents an exhibition of sculptor Marianna Machalová-Jánošíková, who creates emotive ceramic sculptures using only her sense of touch after losing her sight. The exhibition showcases abstract works that reveal hidden emotions and the essence of fine art, with a unique interactive element allowing visitors to experience the sculptures through touch.
Museum Kampa is exhibiting the works of Marianna Machalová-Jánošíková, a remarkable sculptress who lost her sight at the age of 22. Her emotive ceramic clay sculptures and reliefs are created using only her sense of touch. The exhibition features a selection of her most compelling artworks, predominantly abstract in character, which, in their simplified forms, convey profound emotions, sense, and the deepest essence of fine art. Machalová-Jánošíková's works speak in a poetic language about the realities and barriers she navigates daily, revealing her sensitive and fascinating inner world. Her sources of inspiration stem not only from the visible world but also from other sensory impulses, including sounds, structures, scents, desires, wishes, and her vivid imagination.
A unique aspect of this exhibition is its interactivity; a selection of objects is haptic, inviting visitors to experience the fragile and intimate stories of the sculptures through their own sense of touch.
