Wiener Aktionismus

Österreichische Moderne – Eines von 40 Abzügen. - Die Photographie dokumentiert Hermann Nitschs Wiederaufführung der sog. Malaktionen, die traditionell auf Schloss Prinzendorf, Österreich stattfanden. Die Malaktion fand am 24. Januar 1988 statt und beinhaltete die Wiederaufführungen der drei zurückliegenden Malaktionen 12, 14 und 16, die erstmalig 1965 an Standorten in Wien aufgeführt wurden. Die Malaktionen waren Austragungsort des sog. "Orgien Mysterien Theater", das Nitsch als Fest für die Menschen betrachtete. Im Sinne des Wiener Aktionismus lotete er dabei die Grenzen des menschlichen Körpers auf bis dahin nicht gesehene Weise aus und machte sie zum Thema seiner Kunst, häufig zirkulieren die Elemente hierbei um Blut und Schlachtung.

Austrian Postwar – 1 C-print from: Wiederaufgeführte Malaktionen 12., 14. und 16., Prinzendorf 1988. On photographic paper. Signed, numbered and with label on the verso, there with typographic work details and the copyright stamp. Spot-mounted to underlying mat and under mat, framed under glass. - Corners barely noticeably bumped. All in all good. Splendid print. - One of 40 copies. - The photograph documents Hermann Nitsch's re-performance of the so-called Malaktionen, which traditionally took place at Prinzendorf Castle, Austria. The Malaktion took place on 24 January 1988 and included the re-enactments of the three previous Painting Actions 12, 14 and 16, which were first performed in 1965 at locations in Vienna. The painting actions were the venue for the so-called "Orgien Mysterien Theater", which Nitsch regarded as a festival for people. In the spirit of Viennese Actionism, he explored the limits of the human body in ways not seen before and made them the subject of his art; the elements here often circulate around blood and slaughter. - The photograph was taken by Rolf Leitenbor as documentation of the 1988 painting action.
