Gain a profound insight into the complex and multifaceted developments of Viennese Actionism in its core period between the 1960s.

The main representatives of this movement were Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. Their basic concern was a direct and taboo-free confrontation with sensual and psychological experiences in an artistically intensified manner. To this end, they worked with bodies, objects and substances in the form of actions in space and time. This placed them in the context of international developments such as Pop Art, Nouveau Realisme or the Fluxus and Happening movements, which once again made the concrete reality of life the subject of artistic creation, after abstraction had previously dominated.Deren Grundanliegen bestand in einer unmittelbaren und tabulosen Konfrontation mit sinnlichen sowie psychischen Erfahrungen in einer künstlerisch intensivierten Form.
