Exhibition at ZKM in Karlsruhe celebrates Polish Radio Experimental Studio
(Artdaily.org)

The Polish Radio Experimental Studio (PRES) was founded in Warsaw in 1957. Its establishment also had symbolic value, as it became a major platform for freedom of expression within the Eastern Bloc. During the Iron Curtain era, the studio became an exclusive space for creative autonomy. PRES was the only platform that enabled artistic exchange with the West, inviting guests from the United States, Western Europe and Scandinavian countries. The exhibition co-organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of the international cultural program accompanying the centenary of Poland regaining independence shows PRES as an institution oriented towards audio-visual experimentation that managed to establish a new language that is open to the listener’s interpretation through the influence of visual arts.
