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.

Tearing Shadow is a projection sculpture by Berlin-based artist Robert Seidel. Fragments of projection, sculpture and sounds perfoliate the gallery space, allowing the viewer to create endlessly varied audio-visual compositions by wandering around, essentially becoming a part of the artwork itself.

Exhibition explores interplay of cinema with audience imagination
Film and video art exhibition held at Contemporary Image Collective, Cairo in collaboration with London’s Tate Modern explores complex relationships between moving images and perceptionCairo’s Contemporary Image Collective (CIC) is collaborating with the UK’s Tate Modern in a collective video art exhibition entitled ‘Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear’, which raises questions about the nature of cinema and moving images, and the role played by the audiences’ imaginations and perceptions in constructing narratives.The exhibition features seven international artists; Herman Asselberghs, Manon de Boer, Sherif El-Azma, Patricia Esquivias, Lars Laumann, Maha Maamoun, and Ján Mančuška. The video art and film works showcased at the Contemporary Image Collective in downtown Cairo explore interrelationships between image, narrative and the viewer’s perception.
“The film and video works in this exhibition expose the fracture between what we are shown on screen and what we see,” reads the exhibition press release. “Borrowing from various cinematic conventions, as well as formats including lecture, documentary, rehearsal and found footage, they examine the limits of our imagination and credulity.”
Heck yes! Adam Curtis (experimental documentarian extraordinaire) has his own blog on the BBC’s website.
