The Art and Communication Centre (Spanish: Centro de Arte y Comunicación, CAYC) in Buenos Aires was initially established as a multidisciplinary workshop in August 1968 by Víctor Grippo, Jacques Bedel, Luis Fernando Benedit, Alfredo Portillos, Clorindo Testa, Jorge Glusberg and Jorge González. From 1968 until his death in early 2012 Jorge Glusberg was the Director of the Center for Art and Communication. In 1972 the "Scuola de Altos Estudios del CAYC" was founded. In the seventies CAYC became an international center for the Pop art-culture and the famous Architecture Museum (Museo de Arquitectura).
Well-known teachers at CAYC have included Justus Dahinden and Mario Botta.
Famous quotes containing the words art and, art and/or centre:
“In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“The two great things yet to be discovered are these—The Art of rejuvenating old age in men, & oldageifying youth in books.—Who in the name of the trunk-makers would think of reading Old Burton were his book published for the first to day.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Him, the vindictive rod of angry justice
Sent, quick and howling, to the centre headlong;
I, fed with judgements,in a fleshy tomb, am
Buried above ground.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
