Biography:
Born in Argentina, Julio Le Parc settled in Paris in 1958. A year later, he co-founded the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel. He is now seen as one of the leading figures of Kinetic Art. Le Parc’s work is systematically produced according to scientific principles. As a performance artist, his goal is to involve the spectator in a planned experiment, eliminating the possibility for their subjective responses. Le Parc also creates metallic mobiles.
