Juraj Bartusz (born 23 October 1933) is a Slovak sculptor known for his time-space statues and for his non-conventional approach to statue and object from the mid-1960s until the present. "In 1972 he started to work with the computer, cooperating with the computer programmer Vladimír Haltenberger. Computer generated curves were used as a template for manufacturing rotational, human-like sculptures."[1] "The broad spectrum of author’s work includes constructivist sculpture, action and conceptual art, site-specific art, as well as installation. In the eighties he started working with the time factor and began to create time-limited paintings and drawings, and model his works by forceful hits, e. g. throwing bricks to solidifying plaster or slamming the material with planks or rubber straps, referring to the energy of the author’s gesture."[2]
