The Grupo de Arte de Vanguardia de Rosario—created by the fusion of three workshops with artists from several artistic organizations (alumni from JuanGrela, the GrupoTaller,and recent graduates from the Escuela de Bellas Artes de la Universidad)—initiates its public collective actions and position statements at the end of 1965. Two years later, the group has acquired more cohesion and is recognized as one of the most dynamic experimental art groups in the country. At that time, it is comprises Osvaldo Mateo-Boglione, Aldo Bortolotti, Graciela Carnevale, Rodolfo Elizalde, Noemí Escandell, Eduardo Favario, Fernández-Bonina, Emilio Ghilioni, Marta Greiner, José M. Lavarello, Lia Maisonnave, Rubén Naranjo, Norberto Púzzolo, Juan Pablo Renzi, and Jaime Rippa.
The Ciclo de Arte Experimental [Experimental Art Cycle], planned for the early 1968, began in May inside a space that was given to the group by an advertising agency. A short time later, the Instituto Di Tella from Buenos Aires granted it a subsidy that allowed the group to rent a small glass space inside a commercial gallery. Every two weeks, until October 1968, the group would stage an exhibition proposed by one of its members.
Rosario’s Boom journal carried out an extensive, collective feature about the group, where it describes in detail the happenings proposed by Norberto Puzzolo, Lía Maissonave, Fernández- Bonina, and Noemí Escandell.
