CAyC prints
This extensive collection of large-scale heliographic prints was created initially for the Hacia un perfil del arte latinoamericano exhibition at the II Coltejer Biennial in Medellín, Colombia, in May 1972.
The collection continued to expand as the exhibition toured various locations across South and North America and Europe. The themes of these 1970s conceptual art prints include the identity of South America and the influence of North America, political oppression, identity, multi-disciplinary conceptual art practice, and project proposals that sought new systems of expression.
The international scope of participating artists and extensive touring testify to CAyC's interest in promoting communication and exchange among artists.
These prints are the most substantial representation of CAyC’s aesthetic and philosophy (which director Jorge Glusberg termed ‘ideological conceptualism’) that valued international communication over confinement within gallery walls.
