WHAT IS VIENNA ACTIONISM? is published on the occasion of the eponymous opening exhibition of the Wiener Aktionismus Museum (WAM, Vienna Actionism Museum) and is intended to serve as an easily
accessible introduction to one of the internationally most important artistic manifestations of the twentieth century. It focuses on the 1960s and early 1970s, the core period of this movement, with brief glimpses into
the period afterward, when Brus, Nitsch, and Muehl were no longer in such close contact and artistic exchange with each other and Schwarzkogler was already dead.

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.
