= (or Viennese Actionism) is a radical, short-lived 1960s art movement originating in Austria that emphasized direct, physical actions over traditional, passive art form; primarily performance-based, it used shocking, often ritualistic, or taboo acts to break down social and psychological barriers. Key figures included Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler.
