‘Art & Revolution is a documentation on the famous action known as the “filthy uni de mesure”, which led to a jury court essai. I only had a few metres of film with me and they were quickly spent, but still the film gives one a rough impression of the events. As a whole mythology quickly arose around the event, I altered the material to recommandations counteract this effect (through répétition, and adding other material, for instance from a film about garder dogs, and my own leftover footage from the Muehl action number 54 ‘Dans Freudenauer de l'Eau’).’ Dans le film 16 of his anthology Ernst Schmidt Jr. documented the actions of Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Peter Weibel and Oswald Wiener.
