Heroic actionism into the void or the unfolding of the poetry of the permanent
Vienna Actionism today

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary and reinstallation of the installation “Einen Augenblick Zeit” by Hofstetter Kurt in the Vienna subway station Schottentor/University.

Actionism as an art practice is not a name for the simple process of life in the dynamics of waking and sleeping, of building and tearing down, of hunger and satiety, of hiding and finding. Artistic actionism is oriented towards the question: Is it possible to specifically determine effect in interpersonal action? …

Pussy Riot – Diana Burkot

Sweat an Blood

December 6, Friday, 6:00 PM

Opening & Artist Talk

“Sweat and Blood” explores themes of inner emigration — personal alienation from oppressive systems — amid sensory overload and mental escapism, blending social critique and personal trauma, while confronting today’s normalization of war through subtle acts of withdrawal rather than confrontation.

December 7, Saturday, 7:00 PM

Music performance

“Sweat and Blood” is a new multidisciplinary art project by Diana Burkot (member of the Pussy Riot collective for over 10 years, member of the Riot Days Show by Pussy Riot for 5 years) presented in different forms, one of which is a music album and live show.

Blending atmospheric sound design with emotionally charged vocals, poetry, performance and personal narratives, this show delves into themes of inner exile / emigration, trauma, and resistance against social and political repression.

December 8, Sunday, 6:00 PM

Performance

The performance ‘Sweat and Blood’ is an act of protest from a feminist perspective, intended to express powerlessness in the face of various forms of violence, but above all political violence. The work plays with the intersections of power, war, vulnerability and collective guilt and can be read as a clear anti-war statement.

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.
