INTRODUCTION
For years now artists have been working regularly and increasingly with the moving image. This kind
of work has become one of the predominant forms in contemporary visual arts. Inside institutions, art
centres and galleries, the place of video art has stopped being peripheral and become central. The
corresponding audiences are growing, and in so doing public and private collections. The
particularities of these works make clear the necessity of creating a specialized context, a professional
gathering point or international forum.
LOOP was born in 2003 as the first specialized fair in video art. The observation of this necessity and
market niche led to the creation of a video art festival parallel to the LOOP fair, the LOOP Festival
2004. It is a collaborative event that brings together the city and the field. Institutions, diverse
platforms of production and diffusion, together with local and international artists and professionals,
participate and relate through activities. In addition, the need appeared of developing programmes
dedicated to education and knowledge, the LOOP Studies 2012.
Since 2003 other specialized fairs have appeared in the field, but LOOP has achieved the placing of
Barcelona on the schedule and circuits of the main contemporary art events: it is the major date of
video art, the point of encounter of professionals and an indicator of creative and discursive
innovation in the field. Year after year it contributes to create a network of interests that favors the
synergies between the diverse agents and improves the audiovisual market. LOOP is more than just a
commercial fair: it is considered an experimental laboratory of thought about the current state of
video and artist films, the place that images hold in contemporary culture and the situation of art.
LOOP also favors the creation of strategic alliances with diverse local and international entities
(collaboration contracts). Since the last edition, various curatorial projects have appeared in
institutions and fairs around the world: Joburhg Art Fair in Johanesburg (South Africa), Video-art
festival FUSO in Lisbon (Portugal), participation in the ARTFI (Art & Finance Conference) in Berlin
(Germany), screening at Silencio of Paris (France), Contemporary Istanbul fair (Turkey), museum of
contemporary art and school Villa Arson in Nice (France), among others. At the same time a series of
projects have been started such as the exhibition Vídeo-Régimen, at the Museu Lázaro Galdiano of
Madrid (Spain), or the next itinerancies of the Discovery Award at Es Baluard (Palma de Mallorca,
Spain) and the exhibition This is not a Love Song at Pera Museum (Istanbul, Turkey) the coming
November of 2015.

1rst EDITION OF THE VIDEOCREATION PRIZE: A CLEAR STATEMENT FOR PRODUCTION
Another of the interests of LOOP is artistic production. It has been the main objective of the creation
of the 1rst Edition of the Videocreation Prize, launched by LOOP Barcelona with the Xarxa de Centres
d’Arts Visuals de Catalunya and Arts Santa Mònica. This prize promotes the coproduction of a project
that incorporates video as a unique element in the proposal, as well as encourages the development
of strategic actions through the networks that increase local and international visibility. Thursday 28
May 20h Arts Santa Mònica will present the selected work of this first edition of the prize; X-VILLE by
Jordi Colomer, a video inspired by the writings of the philosopher and utopian architect Yona
Friedman, explores utopias and its capacities to attract multitudes.
‘X VILLE’ has been produced by: LOOP Barcelona, Xarxa de Centres d’Arts Visuals de Catalunya*, Arts
Santa Mònica (Departament de Cultura. Generalitat de Catalunya), Jardins-Fabriques [Annecy],
Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and CO producciones [Barcelona-Paris]; in collaboration with:
ESAAA [Annecy],
Fondation Salomon pour l’Art Contemporain [Annecy], Col.lecció Banc Sabadell,
Frac Languedoc-Roussillon and Villeneuve la série [Grenoble].

DISCOVERY: A NEW PRIZE TO PROMOTE VIDEOART
Among the novelties of this year we draw attention to the first edition of the Discovery Award, with
the support of Estrella Damm, which is born with the objective of taking a chance on video
productions and films by international artists through an open call to the artistic community. The
winning work will become part of the LOOP Collection and will participate in future projects of Screen
Projects. Moreover, the author will receive the economic grant of 5000 Euros. The announcement will
be made 5 June 20:30h at the Antiga Fàbrica Damm, which will host from 28 May until 6 June during
LOOP Festival the exhibition of the 10 best finalist works and the winning piece. This exhibition will
also be shown at the same time in DAMMER HOUSE, Dublin (Ireland).
LOOP BARCELONA 2015
MAIN SUBJECT LINES OF THE PRESENT EDITION
The discussions proposed in the last two editions of LOOP Barcelona (What about production -2012and On Collaboration -2013), made us reflect on the need of the implication of audiences, the
strategies of public distribution, and the ways in which they effect their reception, consumption and
appropriation. The edition of 2014 also took a more curatorial approach on the scope of projects that
integrate LOOP: an important part of the programme was curated and produced from the inside of
the organization.
The 2015 edition focuses on two main themes:
1. What about Collecting Video art?
[Inspired by the need of critically rethinking the rolls of agents inside the artistic community]. The
traditional, historic and aesthetic analysis of art commonly focuses on the processes of production,
creation, mediation and reception. However, this perspective usually underestimates the role of
collectors and the practice of collecting – a fundamental aspect in terms of the optimal production in
the artistic ecosystem.
2. Beyond the Image: Sound
[A critical reflection on the status of the moving image in the world of art]. The relationships between
sound and the moving image are multiple and crucial. The sound affects directly the way the
spectator perceives and experiments a work of art. It influences the character and narrative rhythm of
a work and sometimes is more powerful than the images. LOOP seeks to explore the wide variety of
relations that exist between sound and visual productions and question the limitations of artistic
categories.
LOOP FAIR: THE MAIN EVENT
Since the year 2003, the LOOP fair has tried to provide the space, the attitude and attention that
these artistic practices require and has become since then an attractive anomaly among the
traditional fairs.
th
In its 13 edition, from 4 to 6 June 2015, the fair takes the pulse of the panorama of new approaches
in video art with a careful selection of new works by artists and worldwide releases, presented by
their local, national and international galleries and invited by an international committee formed by
video collectors and activists Isabelle Lemaître, Josée i Marc Gensollen, Haro Cumbusyan and Renee
Drake, and chaired by Jean-Conrad Lemaître.
During the fair a jury of specialists will give the following prizes:
 Prize acquisition CATALONIA RAMBLES, for the best exhibited work. It consists of the
acquisition of the piece by Screen Projects, and the loan of this to the MACBA
Foundation.
 Prize LOOP Fair, to the best gallery proposal selected by the jury, which consists of the
free participation of the gallery in the following LOOP edition.
LISTEN WITH THE EYES AND LOOK WITH THE EARS
For the first time, the fair will include a selection of galleries that present sound projects curated by
Anne-Laure Chamboissier (specialist in sound art). It includes artists such as Iñaki Bonillas, Michele
Spanghero and Susan Philipsz.

LOOP STUDIES: A SPACE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSIONAL DIALOGUE
The same days the fair takes place, LOOP STUDIES, which is a platform of education and R&D that
encompasses debates, lectures and presentations with an educational orientation, will open a space
of encounter for professionals in collaboration with local and international universities.
LOOP PANELS 2015:
The programme of lectures and debates BEYOND OBJECTS? A Debate on Engaged Attitudes towards
Collecting (3, 4, 5, 6 June 2015 / Hotel Catalonia Ramblas) tries to establish a solid study of the
particularities of video art collections, and to predict future tendencies in the field. The starting point
is the positive acknowledgement of different perspectives in video art collecting, although above all
committed, around 3 main coordinates:
-
ATTITUDES Responsibility and social function: committed, involved and dedicated collectors.
-
PROCESSES. Development, transformation and evolution of the collecting practices in the
field of video art, both institutional and private.
-
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS. Peculiarities of the video art market, legal and technical problems.

LOOP FESTIVAL 2015
The thirteenth edition of LOOP Barcelona 2015 combines an intense programme of exhibition which
will bring to the city major international video art collections and sound projects. It will open even
more the possibilities of the field, leading to a critical approach to practices in video format. What
makes the LOOP Festival unique is its distribution in a variety of spaces. In its thirteenth edition, LOOP
Festival has not only the support of the main institutions dedicated to culture and art in Barcelona but
also the cooperation of alternative or autonomous spaces, as well as some where contemporary art is
their main activity. The festival coordinates more than 200 entities and professionals of the city that
year after year get involved in programming and curating video presentations throughout the whole
city as exhibitions, screenings, performances, lectures and debates. This collaborative model in
preparing the festival continues to demonstrate its importance, as seen in the consolidation of ties
among collaborators and their commitment at all levels.
WHAT ABOUT COLLECTING? ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF WORK OF SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
PRIVATE COLLECTORS
The present edition wants to stress the importance of the task of private collecting and for this reason
has promoted three projects which take as focus and departure point some of the most important
video art collections in Europe, which are:
Video- Regime. Collectors in the Audiovisual Era.
28/05 - 06/06. Cercle del Liceu
Curator: Carles Guerra
Production: Screen Projects
The Cercle del Liceu opens its doors for the first time to the public and welcomes a second version of
the project curated by Carles Guerra at Museu Lázaro Galdiano de Madrid (Feburary 2015). The
emergence of a new group of collectors with a specific interest in video art stars this project which
takes into account some of the most important video collectors of Spain: Alicia Aza, Joan Bonet, Roser
Figueres and Josep Inglada (Cal Cego), Ella Fontanals -Cisneros (The Ella Fontanals-Cisneros
Collection), Josep Maria Lafuente, Estefanía Meana, Han Nefkens (H+F Collection), Ángel and Clara
Nieto, Enrique Ordóñez (Fotography Collection Ordóñez Falcón), Fernando Panizo and Dorothy Neary,
Emilio Pi and Helena Fernandino, Carlos Rosón (Fundacion RAC), Teresa Sapey, Sisita Soldevila
(Collection Ámister Hotel), Jaime Sordo, Julio Sorigué and Josefina Blasco (Foundation Sorigué), Carlos
Vallejo and Wendy Navarro (CV Collection), Juan Várez, and Ernesto Ventós (OlorVisual Collection).
The works of artists as Francis Alÿs, Emily Jacir, Gilda Mantilla & Raimond Chaves, Bruce Nauman
and Zhou Tao, among others, will converse with the rooms of the Cercle del Liceu making obvious the
collision of aesthetic values, as well as rendering apparent the recent changes in the field of art, the
ways of conceiving heritage, the logics of storage and distribution and the aesthetic experience, which
have little to do with works of the past. The exhibition can only be visited in small groups and a
previous appointment is necessary [includes guided visit]. To register, please consult LOOP
Barcelona’s website: www.loop-barcelona.com
El inconsciente pictórico. Una mirada transversal a la colección de video arte de la Fundació Sorigué
y el fondo del MNAC
28/05 - 30/08. Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya
Curator: F. Javier Panera
Production: Screen Projects
Organizes / Collaborates Fundació Sorigué (http://www.plantaproject.org)
F. Javier Panera, curator of the exhibition This is not a love song at La Virreina Centre de la Imatge
(LOOP Festival 2014), presents a new exhibition in which he combines works from the Sorigué
Collection, considered one of the most important private collections in Spain (450 works) with works
from the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. The filmmaker Erick Rohmer explained it succinctly: “All
organization of forms inside a flat surface derives from pictorial art” and Nam June Paik, one of the
pioneers of video art, expressed it similarly: “The same way that the collage has substituted oil
painting, the cathode ray tube will substitute the canvas”. The leitmotiv of this exhibition is the
pictorial unconscious that appears in a considerable part of the videographic production done since
the origins of this medium until today. It includes the works of Bill Viola, William Kentridge, Marco
Brambilla, Marzia Migliora & Elisa Sighicelli, Gregrory Scott, Aitor Ortiz, David Rokeby, Rosângela
Rennó, Matt Collishaw, Jacco Olivier, Ger Van Elk or Marina Alexeeva.
Writing Diffraction. Works from the Leal Rios Foundation Contemporary Art Collection
28/05 – 05/07. La Virreina Centre de la Imatge
Curator: Miguel Rios
Production: Screen Projects
Collaborates: Leal Rios Foundation & La Virreina Centre de la Imatge.
Sound affects the way the viewer perceives and experiences a work. This exhibition gathers pieces
from artists Francisco Tropa, Angela Detanico & Rafael Lain, Sophie Whettnal and André Romão
which, through implementation of low-tech, put forward various relations between sound, moving
image and the expanding field of contemporary sculpture, while exploring possible points of
intersection between light and sound. The pieces chosen offer different possibilities to understand,
register, name and even measure one’s own experience of existing in the word. FLR - Fundação Leal
Rios is a private institution situated in Lisbon (Portugal) and directed by the brothers Manuel and
Miguel Rios.

BEYOND THE IMAGE: SOUND ART PROPOSALS WHICH ARE PERCEIVED WITH ALL SENSES
The present edition is interested in opening a new door to reflect about the state of video art
production that establishes the relation between image and sound as its main subject. In this sense
another of the main focus points in the programme for the LOOP Festival 2015 will be the group of
works that will be shown at the RECINTE DE L’ANTIC HOSPITAL DE LA SANTA CREU (28 May 6 June),
which takes part for the first time in the LOOP Festival:
Big Noble: screenings at the Biblioteca Nacional de Catalunya. In collaboration with the Primavera
Sound 2015 music festival, LOOP welcomes the screening of the videos which accompany the new
project of Big Noble by Daniel Kessler, guitarist of the band Interpol, and the sound designer Joseph
Fraioli. These videos will be shown from 28 May to 6 June [17h – 20 h].
Emmanuelle Lagarrigue: Sound installation at the Jardins de l’Antic Hospital
Curator: Anne-LaureChamboissier. The french artist Emmanuel Lagarrigue presents a sound
installation produced from a workshop with students from the Escola Massana. In this workshop they
have worked on the piece What are you whispering? Sorrow. Sorrow. Joy. Joy, which the artist began
last October 2014 in the context of the Trienal de Artes de Frestas (São Paulo).
Democracy by Miquel García: at La Capella
This work is a reflection on the concept of democracy and the aesthetics of representation which
covers the trivialization of the idea of democracy on a global scale.
ALT [AV] Brasil: at La Capella
Curator Lucas Bambozzi. Production: Demetrio Portugal. Collaborates: SP Cine, Prefeitura de São
Paulo, Select Magazine (Paula Alzugaray), FAU-USP– Universidade de São Paulo.
Exhibition of single channel videos that show Brazilian authors: Alice Miceli, Marcelo Braga, Kika
Nicolela, Ângella Conte, Alexandre Brandão, Dellani Lima, Giselle Beiguelman, Eder Santos, Fernando
Velazquez, Yudi Rafael, Henrique Roscoe / HOL, Luana Fortes and Giselle Beiguelman.
El durmiente by José Manuel Berenguer: at the Escola Massana
Interactive audiovisual intervention based on a text by “Arcades Project” by Walter Benjamin which
has been designed specifically for the spaces of the Escola Massana in an endeavor to inject life into
these spaces, at least during the celebration of the LOOP Festival.
**Also, this space will be the chosen scenario for the opening of the LOOP Festival on Wednesday
27 May from 18.30h to 22h. The different spaces of this historic complex will have been
transformed to host video projections, sound installations and live concerts**
Following the line of Beyond the Image Sound we highlight the collective project Senses of Place
which gathers, in the different spaces of the historic building of the Reial Cercle Artistic, various
exhibitions, installations and screenings of artists who channel their work through sound, expanded
cinema and new mediums: Richard Garet, Barbara Held, Yapci Ramos, Wolfang Gil, Blake Carrington,
Soundwalk Collective, Melissa Clark and Seth Cluett. The programme also includes two workshops by
Daniel Neumann and Wolfang Gil at Hangar, and a concert performance by Aetherart on 4 June
21.30h which will explore the acoustics of the architecture. At the same time there will be the
screening on 2 June 22h of the video essay Transient Senses by the artist Àlex Arteaga at the Pavelló
Mies van der Rohe.
FILM AND SCREENINGS
Pascale Cassagnau –Centre National des Arts Plastiques- and Anne Laure Chamboissier curate the
cinema programme La musique regardée: Art and Cinema, which will be shown in the Filmoteca de
Catalunya the days 29 and 30 of May (21.30h) and at Zumzeig Cinema the 31 May (20h). The films
show a careful selection of the works of filmmakers Ange Leccia, Romain Kronenberg and Cedrick
Eymenier, who work in a very particular way with the soundtrack. Pascal Cassagnau, in this case
together with François Bonenfant and Pascale Pronnier, curate the programme Comment ça va?
screened at Zumzeig Cinema 7 June 19h. The Goethe Institute will also welcome a night of video
curated by Robert Punkenhofer and Zaida Trallero; and Cinemes Girona will offer a cycle organized by
Casa Àsia focused on cinema made in Hong Kong.
AN ARTIST / A SPACE: EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IMAGE, SOUND AND SPACE
Apart from the exhibitions, the festival’s programme also offers the opportunity to enjoy different
works of artists not only in centers and museums of art but also in unusual or uncommon places. This
is the case of the Capella de Santa Àgata in the Museu d’Història de Barcelona which presents the
work Narbe Deutschland | Scar Germany by the filmmaker and visual artist Burkhard von Harder. The
film follows the remains of the old Iron Curtain in a trip of 16 hours accompanied by a breathtaking
soundtrack composed and interpreted by Klaus Wiese.
The Museu Picasso also participates with two videos by Laurent Fiévet, Carlotta’s Way and Returning
Carlotta’s Way, where Vertigo, by Alfred Hitchcock, and Las Meninas, de Velázquez, are combined to
create complex interactions between film and pictorial elements.
Other required stops on this particular parcour of images and sound are the Museu Marès which
presents Tango for Page Turning by William Kentridge, the Ateneu Barcelonès, with Tarahi II de Haris
Epaminonda (CV Colección, Santander), or the MACBA, presenting two pieces: the epic trilogy
Cabaret Crusades: the Path to Cairo by Wael Shawky (Fundació MACBA), which narrates the story of
medieval crusades from the Arab perspective, and Garden Conversation, a video of the young
Moroccan artist Bouchra Khalili, on the second floor of the Meier building. LOOP Festival also
welcomes the concert and performance by the artist Fito Conesa in the line of his last project
Fantasía y Fuga para Tsushima at the Teatre Sebald (28/05, 19h-20.15h) as part of the exhibition Les
Variacions de Sebald. Art also arrives to one of the stalls of the Boqueria market where you will find
FoodCultura Satellite Boqueria. Antoni Miralda, Teresa Serrano, Malia Jensen, Shahar Marcus and
Nezaket Ekici are the organizers of this project.
We highlight an original project from the collaboration with the space A Tale of a Tub (Rotterdam).
The project is inspired in cinema and explores the relationship between image and sound. The Museu
d’Història de Catalunya will show in Land, two projects of the young Scandinavian artist John Skoog:
in The Chemical Analysis of the last Breath, the audio tapes and promotional materials rescued from a
fire in Hollywood (which destroyed lots of films from the beginning of the XX century) are used to
recreate movies. These films seem echoes from a distant world. In Shadowland, the desolated
landscapes of California recall noir nordic films. Coinciding with the release of Jordi Colomer’s new
st
work, winner of the 1 Videocreation Prize, Arts Santa Mònica also welcomes from 12 May until 22
June the project by Jeu de Paume Inventing the Future. Ephemeral Video Library which provokes
reflection on the utopias of modernity through videos by more than 20 artists that the spectator can
freely visualize.
There will also be a space for artistic projects that take into account another important artistic
discipline: photography. The Conservatori del Liceu welcomes New Street and Ramblas, and the new
project by artist Beat Streuli, one of the main representatives of contemporary photography who for
fifteen years has been documenting human presence in urban spaces; and the Museu de Cultures del
Món (for the first time participating in the LOOP Festival) presents Killed by William E. Jones, in
collaboration with the Kadist Art Foundation, which uses the photographs of the Farm Security
Administration to document North American society during the Great Depression.
CITYSCREEN
15 galleries and 35 art spaces in the city have joined the LOOP Festival and during its run will
programme various video projects. LOOP wants to make visible the complex network of spaces
dedicated to art that configure the art field in Barcelona while at the same time offering a specific
context that helps the public enter into contact with these (see attached list). In addition, Arnout
Krediet (Estudio Nómada) organizes the route ‘Noise’ in the Barri Gòtic on 29 May 19.30h. It is an
itinerary through new art spaces in which we will discover works of video art by international artists
specially chosen in relation to sound, one of the protagonists of the 2015 edition. The videos will also
be shown during 30 May.
ORGANIZERS
SCREEN PROJECTS is an agency specialized in cultural happenings in the field of contemporary art. It
