For the first time since the reopening of the MUMOK works of the Wiener Gruppe are to be seen in a collection exhibition and amongst these are important new acquisitions and holdings in the area of Conceptual Art. Viennese art movements in the 1960’s that are usually dealt with separately, are mutually contextualised from the point of view of linguistic analysis.On a further level they correspond with the international interplay between Pop Art, Fluxus and Conceptual Art. Selected loans, such as the Learning Machines of Fluxus-founder Georges Maciunas that are being shown in Austria for the first time, complete the exhibition.
