Members of the"Vienna Actionism" movement which emerged in the 1960s did not shy away from using blood, urine and excrement as they defied the confines of traditional painting. — AFP picVIENNA, Oct 2 — Several shows are recognising Guenter Brus, the last surviving key member of Vienna’s famed “actionists”, who turned 85 last week and whose radical movement broke new ground using the body to make art.
Of the group, only Brus is still alive, with retrospectives in Vienna and the city of Graz showing prints from his key performances, his pictorial poems and other important pieces to mark his 85th birthday. One of Brus’s most notable and first performances was in 1965 when he crisscrossed Vienna with his body painted white and bisected by a jagged black line before being arrested by police.
He had taken part in a performance that involved stripping naked in a university lecture hall, defecating and masturbating while chanting the national anthem.
