About the Exhibition
Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960s-1980s presents a panoramic survey of experimental art from six Central-Eastern European nations. Organized by the Walker Art Center, this groundbreaking exhibition offers a rare opportunity to witness artworks seldom seen in the United States. Through a rich tapestry of artistic expressions, Multiple Realities sheds light on the diverse experiences of artists as they navigated varying degrees of control and pressure from state authorities. Embracing conceptual and formal innovation, these visionary artists crafted works that challenged the limitations imposed upon them. With a spirit of adventurousness, they created pieces infused with wit, humor, and irony, reflecting their refusal to conform to official systems.
