Slices of art. Viennese actionists and Werner Schwab’s negations
Mateusz Pytko (University of Warsaw)
The article raises questions about the possibility of negation of art on the example of Viennese Actionism’s body performance and Werner Schwab’s conception of theatre. It puts emphasis on the problems of the political meaning of the abjectal usage of the body (actionists) and language (Schwab) in contrast to the fascist dryness represented by Heinrich Gross. It additionally demonstrates the similarity between the brutal performances of the Viennese Actionists and Werner Schwab’s affective imaginarium.
