Bodyanalysis / Actions 1964 – 1970
Album DE 2010 on Edition Kröthenhayn label
Spoken Word and Classical (Experimental, Sound Art, Post-Modern, Interview)
"A core member of the artist collective around Hermann Nitsch, Otto Mühl and Rudolf Schwarzkogler, instigators of ‚Viennese Actionism’, it was during the early 1960s that Günter Brus staged his first actions in Vienna. Due to the radical nature of his works, Brus soon found himself at odds with the Austrian authorities. Sentenced to six months of close arrest, in 1970 Brus absconded to Berlin. During the subsequent years, his works were shown by a range of internationally renowned museums and galleries – nowadays, Brus ranks among Austria’s most eminent contemporary artists." Hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies. The packaging consists of a slip lid box with banderole, containing a 80 pages book with photos and texts by Peter Weibel and Theo Altenberg. Book is in German and English. The DVD contains German, Englisch and French versions / subtitles. The DVD contains a collage film consisting of a lot of performance and film material by Günter Brus, private home movies, paintings and drawings accompanied mostly only by music selected very consciously, as well as a more traditional TV documentary on Günter Brus with interviews and his art. Also contains 18 self-running slideshows for his various performance and photo performance works. Sponsored by Stiftung Kulturfonds with financial means by VG Bild-Kunst.
