LOOP is a platform dedicated to the study and promotion of the moving image. Founded in 2003, since its creation it offers a specialised audience a curated selection of video-related contents from challenging perspectives. While teaming up with an international community of artists, curators, gallerists, collectors and institution directors to develop projects which aim at exploring the capacities of video and film in today’s contemporary art discourses, it yearly hosts LOOP Barcelona, a special meeting point that unfolds into three main sections.
· The Fair: is a selection of contemporary artists films and videos presented by international galleries in a unique viewing experience.
· The Festival: a series of proposals related with moving image creation in the form of exhibitions, screenings and live performances around the city.
· The Studies: a series of talks, workshops and professional meetings that foster the recognition and appreciation of video and film.
LOOP is not just a festival is also a large archive of works and authors, publications... related to the moving image. Also works as a platform where you can find a virtual exhibition planned by commissioners collaborators, therefore it's a platform where we can discover new themes and audiovisual languages.
