Centro de Arte y Comunicacion (CAYC) (Center for Art and Communication) Buenos Aires

 Collection
Identifier: MsC0759
Abstract

Committed to the production and dissemination of systems art, CAYC was established as a multidisciplinary workshop in August of 1968. A collection of large scale works (each about 22 x 34 inches) was assembled in 1972 by Jorge Glusberg, CAYC Director, as an edition of 10 that circulated as traveling exhibitions. Apparently including about 72 works in 1972, the collection grew over time and the Iowa collection now consists of 143 diazo prints and appears to be the only extant copy. The collection includes a linear foot of catalogues, documentation, books and pamphlets, dating from 1970 to 1980 and a complete set of black and white photographs from which online images were derived.

The E is simply a way to borrow the organization of a language. In a way, text is cleaned of one single overt meaning and becomes a pure Language. It's just an abstraction. But E? I did notice that it is placed on the top of each seeing-eye chart of every optometrist's office in the United States. And it's the most commonly used letter in the English language...the list goes on." The passage from "Moby Dick" for this piece is taken from Chapter 35, The Mast-Head. The three mast-heads are kept manned from sun-rise to sun- set; the seamen taking their regular turns (as at the helm), and relieving each other every two hours. In the serene weather of the tropics it...
