Although he was one of those (along with Imrich Vanek and Jozef Su\u0161ienko) who made a strong ceramic mark on the city from the late 1960s onwards. He had been a designer since his student days at the UMPRUM in Prague, and within the confines of the planned socialist economy his bottles, jars, vases, and vessels were created as original works in the Bratislava studio where he worked for most of his life. In the euphoria of the post-Pombian Revolution, he experienced the reality of self-production of designer editions of tableware. The theme, which he carried through to several exceptional realisations, was the design of the domestic fireplace. He put most of his energy into the monumental creation of sculptural works for architecture, realizing about 60 of them all over Slovakia. Many of them did not survive the reconstruction\/destruction of architectural environments, in Bratislava, for example the monumental reliefs at the M. R. \u0160tef\u00e1nik Airport, the Istropolis Trade Union House, and the Danube Hotel. The ceramic stories that transformed spa, recreational, hospital, school buildings can be publicly known, such as the monumental reliefs in the television in Mlynska dolina in Bratislava or well hidden, such as the relief in the nursery in Bratislava's Ru\u017einov or the fountain and sculptures in the \u013d. Fulla in Ru\u017eomberok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At BADW, we will get a glimpse into the ceramic thinking of Juraj Marth through a selection of design and sculptural work from the artist's estate.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Juraj Marth exhibition would not have been possible without the help and cooperation of Mrs. Dagmar Marth, wife and collaborator of Juraj Marth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Juraj Marth: It is not indifferent what stories we tell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Curator:<\/strong> Viera Kleinov\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Professional cooperation:<\/strong> Dagmar Marthov\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bratislavadesignweek.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Unknown.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"841\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"15466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bratislavadesignweek.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Unknown-841x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bratislavadesignweek.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Unknown-841x1024.jpeg 841w, https:\/\/www.bratislavadesignweek.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Unknown-246x300.jpeg 246w, https:\/\/www.bratislavadesignweek.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Unknown-768x935.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bratislavadesignweek.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Unknown-10x12.jpeg 10w, https:\/\/www.bratislavadesignweek.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Unknown.jpeg 1164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 841px) 100vw, 841px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Juraj Marth: Fireplace in your own house. 90s of the 20th century.
