Founded in 2003, Loop pairs the first fair devoted exclusively to the moving image with a citywide festival, which gathers 152 artists across 43 galleries, studios and independent spaces.
Loop Fair runs at the Almanac Barcelona from 17 to 19 November, with 34 galleries from Europe, the Americas and Asia each presenting a single project in one of the hotel rooms. Among the 35 artists are Theo Eshetu (Galerie Barbara Thumm) and Éric Baudelaire (Barbara Wien), both in the Venice Biennale’s In Minor Keys, and the late conceptual artist Ceal Floyer, presented by Esther Schipper. Premieres include Casper Braat’s Workweek (2024), a 40-hour film of a cubic metre of marble reduced to a cubic centimetre.
The festival’s curated strand, Xiu Xiu (Whispers), conceived by Filipa Ramos, marks the city’s year as UNESCO-UIA World Capital of Architecture.
The edition closes a crowded Spanish year: ARCOmadrid held its 45th edition in March with more than 200 galleries, Swab Barcelona staged its 19th edition in October, and Barcelona Gallery Weekend opened the season in September with 25 galleries.
