Description
Persistence of Vision Volume 5. The Vienna Action Group was the most provocative, insurgent and challenging of all worldwide art movements of the 1960s, typified by the event in which Actionist Gunter Brus defecated before a large public audience and then masturbated while singing the Austrian national anthem - after which all members were either imprisoned, sent into exile or driven to suicide. Their films, discussed here in detail, form the essential residue of these performances, show more revealing the obsessions and outrages of the group. 50 b/w photos. show lessTags
