Grupo Artistas de Vanguardia
Grupo de Artistas de Vanguardia is a 1960s avant-garde collective in Argentina. It gathers artists, journalists, and sociologists in Rosario and Buenos Aires who identify a gap between reality and politics and try to bridge it. Among the leading members are Graciela Carnevale, León Ferrari, Roberto Jacoby and Norberto Puzzolo. In their manifest for the action 'Tucumán Arde' (‘Tucumán Burning’, 1968) the group states: ‘The collective work done is based on the present situation in Argentina, which becomes more radical in one of its poorest provinces, Tucumán, which has been subjected to a long tradition of underdevelopment and economic oppression.’
