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.

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.
