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.

Arbeit am Fleisch

Thomas Feuerstein

Thomas Feuerstein is one of the most exciting and versatile artists of his generation. In his works, he combines art with science, literary history and philosophy – always with an eye on the boundaries of body, identity and life.

Following on from the tradition of Vienna Actionism, Feuerstein addresses central themes such as corporeality, transformation and the merging of art and life. The focus is particularly on the question: How is our relationship to the body changing in a world that is increasingly digital, technological and networked?
