The Art of Destruction: The Vienna Action Group in Film, Performance & Revolt Barber Stephen
The Vienna Action Group, known for their grotesque, iconoclastic, ritualistic, and sexual works, formed one of the most provocative art movements of the 1960s. Defying the powers of the state and rejecting traditional commodifiable art practices, they enacted their art on the body, creating performances that live on in works of residue, photography, and film.The films of the Vienna Action Group--made both by members of the group and by collaborators such as Kurt Kren--form the essential records of their performances. This short-lived group--with participants including G nter Brus, Otto M hl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler-- stirred shock and moral outrage as it produced a series of performance-based works that transformed the human body through violent and transgressive actions, often involving blood, semen, meat, and excreta.
