Together with Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Günter Brus is considered a co-founder of Viennese Actionism and a pioneer of Body Art. The Austrian painter, graphic artist and action artist is one of the most important living artists in Austria.
With Günter Brus, Kunsthaus Bregenz is presenting the oeuvre of a Viennese Actionist for the first time. The focus is on the photographic records of his epoch-making actions and performances as well as his informal paintings. These often large-format works are characterised by erratic, wild gestures. The painting becomes perceptible as an aggressive act, it testifies to disinhibition, twitching disruption and a death drive that pushes to the surface.
