Centro de Arte y Comunicación
The Centro de Arte y Comunicación (CAyC) was an arts organization based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that was instrumental in creating an international arts movement based on systems art.[citation needed]
History
In August 1968, CAyC was established as a multidisciplinary workshop by Víctor Grippo, Jacques Bedel, Luis Fernando Benedit, Alfredo Portillos, Clorindo Testa, Jorge Glusberg, and Jorge González.[1]
In 1971, the "Grupo de los Trece" was created by Polish theater director Jerzy Grotowski. There were 13 artists who made up the group: Jacques Bedel, Luis Fernándo Benedit, Gregorio Dujovny, Carlos Ginsburg, Jorge Glusberg, Victor Grippo, Jorge González Mir, Vicente Lucas Marotta, Luis Pazos, Alfredo Portillos, Juan Carlos Romero, Julio Teich, and Horacio Zabala. Additional artists who later joined were Leopoldo Maler and Clorindo Testa. In 1975, the group were formally named the "CAyC Group."[2]
The work was centered around the concept of "Arte de Sistemas" or Systemic Art.[2]
In 1972, the "Scuola de Altos Estudios del CAyC" was founded.[citation needed]
In the seventies CAyC became an international center for the Pop art-culture and the famous Museo de Arquitectura.[citation needed]
Well-known teachers at CAyC have included Justus Dahinden and Mario Botta.[citation needed]
From 1968 until his death in early 2012, Jorge Glusberg was the Director of CAyC.[citation needed]
