Book excerpt: The important Vienna Actionist Hermann Nitsch once said, ""Red is the color that people register the most because it is simultaneously the color of life and death."" Originally inspired by French Tachisme and American Abstract Expressionism, Nitsch began working with paint in the late 1950s and early 60s, putting on ""theatrical painting actions"" in order to produce large-scale spill paintings. Up until the very early 1960s, his canvases were often still stained with evocative rivers of red paint; over the ensuing years, he would gradually replace paint with blood and stretched canvases with unstretched bed sheets, bringing an assortment of new and highly charged ""materials"" into his practice, including internal organs, animal cadavers and human bodies. From the 1960s until the late 1990s, Nitsch staged nearly 100 ritualistic performance actions in his Theater of Orgies and Mysteries series. Through the complete set of these often incendiary actions, which included live slaughters, dance, music and other pagan gestures, Nitsch realized his concept for a total work of art that brings together painting, architecture and music with the catharsis of self-recognition.

Book excerpt: Hermann Nitsch produced his first "poured" paintings around 1960. In this form of action painting, the artist is primarily concerned with the substance of the paint, which he investigates from one painting action to the next. This catalog illustrates the development of his painterly works from the early 1960s to the present day. The main focus of the content lies in the characteristics of the various work cycles. In addition to the first "splatter" paintings it shows floor "splatter" paintings from the Red Cycle (1995), works from the Six-Day Play (1989) or the yellow Resurrection Cycle (2002). While one colour dominates in the monochrome works, in others a real explosion of colours takes place. The paint is splattered or sprayed; it may be applied in liquid form or impasto. The artist may use a paintbrush or smear the paint with his hands. The focal point is the exploration of the state of the paint, which varies between liquid and solid.

Book excerpt: This catalogue was published within the context of the paint action of Hermann Nitsch organized by Dirimart at the Contemporary Istanbul Art Fair on November 7-10, 2013 and the Herman Nitsch exhibition held at Dirimart Nisantasi on February 13-March 8, 2014. The catalogue presents his works that came out of his paint action at the 2013 Contemporary Istanbul together with his paintings from 1999 to 2013, accompanied by two texts by the artist. In his words: "The painter submits itself to a dramatic painting process. In my theater, this ecstasy of the painting process leaves the canvas surface, the real event takes its place instead... Blood and flesh is being used instead of color. My arguments of the painting are sorted in painting actions and numbered. From 7 to 10 November 2013, I had the 66th painting performance in Istanbul. It was interesting for me to demonstrate my work in a country largely covered by Islamic culture. I was amazed that my work is understood and a different religion issue did not stand in its way... I believe that the confrontation of the Orient with the Vienna Art is very important. At the time of Jugendstil, a similar attempt has been carried out there by Klimt. I think it's very good to expand such artistic relationships here." Hermann Nitsch, one of the founders of Viennese Actionism, continues his traditional modern artistic ritual with his ritual-like actions named Orgien Mysterien Theater. Nitsch blesses the body in the context of blood, nudity, and violence while adopting a critical manner against modernist body politics. While conveying the violence dispersed in human essence to all senses, Nitsch leads major themes of contemporary art, such as animalism and gender, as well as performance arts and happenings. In his performances that resemble rituals of early ages, the artist exhibits visible, smellable, audible, and perceivable reality, free from the artificial effect of traditional drama and including all the elements both central and peripheric. Aside from Orgien Mysterien Theater, Nitsch creates a new ground in the mind of the viewer where colors and images co-exist, with his paintings which are the result of his painting actions.
