Video art at the Loop Fair in Barcelona

From 23 to 25 May 2013, the tenth edition of the Loop Fair will be held at the Catalonia Ramblas Hotel in Barcelona. This fair, exclusively dedicated to video art, allows participants to discover and promote the artists working in this field of art. The programme of the fair is composed of the presentation of a special project called The Pool, carried out by the galleries of the preselected artists, as well as a professional forum for debates called The Loop Studies.

Each artist chosen by the selection committee, directed by collector Jean-Conrad Lemaître, has to present a film screening in the rooms of the hotel hosting the event. The most remarkable work will be awarded on the occasion of the Loop Awards.

Among the artists chosen, it is possible to mention Bruno Aveillan, represented by the Spree Gallery in Paris, Willi Bucher, an artist from the Wolkonsky Gallery in Munich, as well as the Hollybush Gardens Gallery in London, with Claire Hooper.

This year, the Loop Studies will be centred on the question What about collaboration? and will be divided into several panel discussions. Furthermore, two prizes will be awarded, one for the best work chosen by the jury (Catalonia Hotels Award), and the other for the best gallery project (Loop Award).

Last year, artists Reichrichter, Anja Kirschner and David Panos, as well as Julien Crépieux, distinguished themselves and were awarded for their works.
