From 1966 onwards, Otto Muehl placed the human body and its emancipatory possibilities at the centre of his actions in his so-called Material Actions and defined it as an explicit space for action. Here, Muehl further developed his specific material language, paraphrasing classical subjects from art history and staging bodies and objects, increasingly including food.

Four Actions

With its second exhibition, the WAM is now going into greater depth. The opening exhibition WHAT IS VIENNA ACTIONISM? first offered an overview of the multi-layered developments of this movement in the 1960s, whereby the individual actions were only presented with exemplary photos. Now, under the title FOUR ACTIONS, an exhibition series is being launched that presents selected actions with all the available historical material. In this way, it will be possible for the first time to understand the actions in all their detail. The aim of the exhibition is to open up new perspectives on the reception of Vienna Actionism through the precise examination of individual actions.
