Actionism is a movement that's all about making a big impact, like a loud, obnoxious, and slightly destructive one. It's like performance art, but with more yelling and less... well, art.
Imagine a world where the most valuable thing in art isn't the brushstrokes or the canvas, but the noise level of the gallery opening reception. That's Actionism in a nutshell.
Some notable Actionists: Allen Wollaston, John Cage's lesser-known cousin, and Ray Giacomo (just kidding, that's not a real person).
