LOOP 2013

23.05 – 23.05 / 2013
Hotel Catalonia Ramblas

LOOP 2013 celebrates its 11th edition with an outstanding selection of new films by leading artists. Produced by Screen Projects and in parallel to SCREEN Festival, LOOP is a dynamic hub created from the collaboration with more than 200 active professionals, institutions and organisations.

LOOP 2013 will take place on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of May in Barcelona. LOOP was born in 2003 in Barcelona as the first fair exclusively devoted to video art, in order to provide the space, attitude and attention required by these practices, which have become a rarity amongst general fairs. LOOP has forged a strong community coming equally from the concomitant fields of contemporary art and cinema throughout its 11 editions, and is considered a highly efficient occasion to promote artists’ video and film amidst a specialized audience. LOOP is a showcase of selected artists’ video and films presented by their galleries. The selection, in which premières are taken into special consideration, is undertaken by the LOOP Committee, chaired by collector Jean‐Conrad Lemaître and composed by collectors Isabelle Lemaître, which are well known for their active collection and support of moving image art through initiatives such as the “StudioCollector Prize”; Josée and Marc Gensollen, renowned for their impressive collection of conceptual art displayed displayed in their converted‐workshop private home La Fabrique; and gallerist Christopher Grimes (Christopher Grimes Gallery, Santa Monica), whose endorsement of leading visual artists and filmmakers has lead him to organise exhibitions internationally.
