Beschreibung:
Stephen Barber is professor at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, London, and a fellow of the Free University Berlin. His recent books include Berlin Bodies: Anatomizing the Streets of the City, White Noise Ballrooms, and Film's Ghosts: Tatsumi Hijikata's Butoh and the Transmutation of 1960s Japan.
The Vienna Action Group, known for their grotesque, iconoclastic, ritualistic, and sexual works, formed one of the most provocative art movements of the 1960s. This short-lived group--with participants including Günter Brus, Otto Mühl, 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. 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.
