Vile images of young nude men smeared with bodily fluids, organs, and blood in scenes of sexual subjection and bodily dessecration. Appearing as in-progress torture carried out with crude surgical tools, the dismemberments appear clinical, institutionally executed, and are highly unnverving. Other photographs show assistants staging the scene and crowds looking on, a gesture towards the complicity of all members of a society for its violence. Heinz Cibulka was part of the Viennese Actionism movement and this photobook documents several actions from 1965-1975, including one performed by Rudolf Schwarzkogler. A precursor to performance art, the actions intended to shock, disturb, and transgress polite bourgeois morals and force Austrian society to reckon with the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime. Text in German and Italian. In photo illustrated wrappers. [162] pp., 140 of which are photographic. 8 x 10 in. Very good with small chip and bumping along spine.

Berlin: Heimproduktion, and K?ln, Electrola, 1978. Vinyl record in original pictorial record sleeve measuring 31 ? 31.4 cm. Cover with signed dedication: "(heart symbol)lich Valie Export + M. Wiener. Berlin 26.5.79", and record label also with signed dedication: ?Mike Steiner von Monsti Wiener. Valie Export 26.5.79?, the dedication signed by both probably in Wiener's hand. Sleeve creased; edges rubbed; small edge defect; the record with a few superficial scratches. The album "Wahre Freundschaft" is the first of two records that Valie Export and Monsti Wiener produced together. The recordings were made in 1978 in Wiener's apartment in Berlin-Kreuzberg and were released in an edition of 1000 copies. On the record, the two Viennese performance artists sing old German and Austrian folk songs and popular classical songs such as ?Das Wandern ist des M?llers Lust? (Franz Schubert) and avant-garde pieces by Gerhard R?hm and Konrad Bayer, for example, as well as numerous obscene, banal, and silly pop songs. The performances are repeatedly interrupted by fits of laughter from the two interpreters, who barely hit a note correctly and fail in their attempt to sing the canon ?Fr?re Jacques? (Cf. Wolfgang M?ller, Subkultur Westberlin 1979-1989, Hamburg 2014, p. 69f.) Ingrid Wiener and Valie Export had previously worked together with Dieter Roth on a longer project, which at first glance seems atypical of the neo-avant-garde. On the initiative of Wiener, who studied textile design in the first half of the 1960s, the three artists created a series of tapestries, although Valie Export withdrew from the project. The production of the tapestries was a tedious, very time-consuming practice; it could sometimes take years to produce one carpet. However, Dieter Roth maintained his spontaneous approach in this collaboration. For the first tapestry in which Export was involved, Roth supplied a soiled linen napkin from a meal at the Italian restaurant chain ?Bertorelli? He scribbled three chunky cats in red pencil on the grease-stained machine-made napkin. In the bottom right-hand corner of the tapestry, Valie Export wove Roth's signature and the year the collaboration began, 1974, as well as her own logo signet at the top right-hand edge, next to the city name Berlin and the end year 1976. At the top left, Wiener wove her signature in small letters. The record offered here was thus created in the context of this collaboration. (Caroline Lillian Schopp: Feminist In-Action.
