Since its first edition, LOOP Fair has established the LOOP Awards in order to distinguish the most outstanding works that are exhibited as well as the most remarkable gallery proposal from each edition.
The awards given are selected by an international jury of experts. The work is then acquired by Screen Projects / LOOP and lent to MACBA’s Foundation – Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona. Throughout the eleven edition of this fair exclusively devoted to video art, acclaimed personalities such as Bartomeu Marí (MACBA), Mark Nash (Documenta 11), Manolo Borja-Villel (MNCARS – Museum Reina Sofia), Christine van Assche (Centre Georges-Pompidou) or Barbara London (MoMA) have contributed in selecting the awarded pieces.
