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.

Art critic Larissa Kikol and Wolfgang Zinggl, founder of the WochenKlausur group, in conversation with WAM director Julia Moebus-Puck.
Although the Viennese Actionists did not see themselves as directly politically active artists, they were always politicised by their relentlessly direct approach to the taboo boundaries of the time. In the WAM talk, we will discuss whether and how art can/should/must fulfil political purposes and to what extent radicalism is related to authenticity.
