<p>The first overview in a decade on Kubin’s gothic pageant of dreamworld menace<br />
The art of the great Austrian draftsman, illustrator and author Alfred Kubin (1877–1959) appears more current today than ever before; wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters and the manipulation of the masses pervade his highly narrative works. Kubin’s nightmarish oeuvre extends Symbolism and the fantastical art of the 19th century and may be considered a precursor to French Surrealism, with its syntheses of actual and imaginary reality, its bleak realms that Kubin often seasoned with humor, irony and exaggeration.<br />
Published for an exhibition at the Leopold Museum in Vienna, Alfred Kubin: Confessions of a Tortured Soul offers an exploration of Kubin’s oneiric worlds in terms of their relation to the unconscious. Through this lens, psychoanalyst and psychiatrist August Ruhs addresses pieces by Kubin selected by curator Hans-Peter Wipplinger. In addition, Kubin’s works are placed into a dialogue with works by artists of the 19th century and of the classical modernism from which Kubin derived inspiration.</p>

The protagonists of the Viennese Actionist movement--Hermann Nitsch, Otto Muehl, Günter Brus and Rudolf Schwarzkogler--were all men, but their work grew out of a larger climate of Austrian and German body-related art and performance in which women played an equal role. Women were also present, of course, in the performances of Nitsch, Muehl et al, as creative collaborators. Amor Pysche Action offers a radical reappraisal of Vienna Actionism’s heritage, larger context and legacy, surveying works by male and female artists such as Adolf Frohner, Gerhard Rühm, Padhi Frieberger, Friederike Pezold, Valie Export, Peter Weibel, Christian Ludwig Attersee, Arnulf Rainer, Bruno Gironcoli, Franz West, Birgit Jürgenssen, Heinz Cibulka, Magdalena Frey, Erwin Wurm, Franz Graf, Elke Krystufek and Kurt Kren, as well as by Nitsch, Muehl, Brus and Schwarzkogler.
