What is the Loop ?
The Loop is a video art festival which has become established in Barcelona. This year, the new edition will involve hundreds of video screenings, with lots of exhibitions in many public spaces across the city. Every year, many artists participate in the event, with the aim of showcasing the different forms and dimensions of video art and highlighting its differences from conventional cinema.
Conferences, workshops and professional meet-ups were also arranged throughout Barcelona.
- There’s also a Loop Fair from 19th – 21st November, presenting the work of many innovative artists from the world of video art.
Where is the Loop Festival held?
The festival is a city-wide event, held in museums, art galleries and cinemas including the Filmoteca de Catalunya, the CCCB, the MACBA and the Antoni Tàpies Foundation, amongst others!
