Viennese Actionism

Viennese Actionism (German: Wiener Aktionismus) was a short-lived art movement in the 20th-century that spanned the 1960s into the 1970s. It is regarded as part of the independent efforts made during the 1960s to develop the issues of performance art, Fluxus, happening, action painting, and body art. Its main participants were Günter Brus, Otto Mühl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. Others involved in the movement include Anni Brus, Heinz Cibulka and Valie Export. Many of the Actionists (German: Aktionisten) have continued their artistic work independently of Viennese Actionism movement.¶
