Grupo de Arte Callejero (GAC)

A collective based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 1997 by a group of fine arts students. Their work focuses on visual and performative interventions outside traditional exhibition circuits, often appropriating public spaces. Blurring the lines between activism and art, they address themes such as human rights abuses during Argentina’s military dictatorship and the consequences of neoliberal policies. Their projects draw inspiration from popular knowledge and are often anonymous, encouraging others to adopt their practices. Collaborating with human rights organizations, independent unions, and political groups, they employ various formats including installation, graphics, performance, and video. Their work has been exhibited internationally, including at prestigious events such as the Venice Biennale and the Bienal de Venecia. Committed to social and political engagement, GAC’s dynamic production continually evolves through collective construction and exchange with others.”
