The Centro de Arte y Comunicación (CAyC) hold their first international exhibition, in August and September 1969, showing work by Japanese, British, American and Argentine artists. The exhibition showcased the work of artists that used “ideas, synthetic shapes or mathematical equations instead of paintings; lights and motors, and information instead of brushes,” according to the group director Jorge Glusberg.
