Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel (GRAV) ("Research Art Group") was a collaborative artists group in Paris] that consisted of eleven opto-kinetic artists.

GRAV was active in Paris from 1960 to 1968.

Aim

Their main aim was to merge the individual identities of the members into a collective and individually anonymous activity linked to the scientific and technological disciplines based around collective events called Labyrinths.

Labyrinths

GRAV issued a manifesto (1963) which called for the direct participation of the public with an influence on its behavior, notably through the use of interactive labyrinths.

Members

Members included:

  • François Morellet
  • Julio Le Parc
  • Francisco Sobrino
  • Horacio Garcia Rossi
  • Yvaral
  • Joël Stein
  • Vera Molnár

Dissolution

The members agreed to dissolution in November 1968, based on their recognition that it was impossible to maintain the rigor of a joint program.

Influences

The GRAV manifesto was influenced by Victor Vasarely's concept that the sole artist was outdated.
