JOSEPH BEUYS:A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Hermann Nitsch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Hermann Nitsch is an Austrian performance artist, associated with the Vienna Actionists.
Hermann Nitsch is known for his ritualistic performance actions, often combining fake crucifixion with the disembowelling of lambs and other animals. He created the Orgies-Mysteries Theatre, staging nearly 100 performances between the years of 1962 and 1998. In 1998, Nitsch staged his 100th performance (named the 6-Day Play after its length) which took place at his castle in Austria, called Schloss Prinzendorf.
The term Viennese Actionism describes a short and violent movement in 20th century art that can be regarded as part of the many independent efforts of the sixties to develop "action art" (Fluxus, Happening, Performance, Body Art, etc.). Its main participants were Günter Brus, Adolf Frohner, Otto Mühl, Hermann Nitsch, Alfons Schilling and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. As "actionists," they were active between 1960 and 1971. Most have continued their artistic work in an independent way from the early 1970s onwards.
