"The animosities after the festival were so strong that the various proponents, but above all Mühl as a representative of Actionism and Wiener as a representative of a more literary position, avoided each other for a while .... (as a result) Mühl now has more contact with Brus again ... At the beginning of November, the two are organizing the Direct Art Festival at the Porrhaus. The program is a sketch-like sequence of small actions performed either by Mühl and Brus, Mühl or Brus alone or Mühl with the 'Direct Art Group' ... The position formulated in hectographed programs shows that this event is also about a strategic separation of the Actionists from the group around Wiener ... Thus it is expressly emphasized that direct art developed exclusively from painting."
