What is actionism?
Viennese Actionism was a short-lived but intense art movement in the 20th century, emerging as part of the broader action art efforts of the 1960s. Known for its violent and provocative performances, the movement sought to break traditional art boundaries. Key figures in this movement included Arnulf Rainer and Hermann Nitsch.

Assemblage is an artistic process involving the combination of three-dimensional objects to create a work of art.

These objects are arranged creatively to form a unique and often thought-provoking artwork.
Found objects (or objet trouvé in French) are everyday items that an artist finds and incorporates into a work of art. While collectors have displayed aesthetically pleasing objects for centuries, modern art often uses objects that originally had non-artistic functions, such as recycled or repurposed materials.
