“Remote Viewing. The Best of LOOP”

Remote viewing. The Best of LOOP:
Taking the Pulse of the Next Generation
of Video Art (Part Two)
Curated by Paul Young

Pacific Design Center
West Hollywood, California

From January 30th to March 31st 2010

The second part of the exhibition The Best of LOOP is now on show in Los Angeles, in the Pacific Design Center. This exciting two-part video exhibition, presented in collaboration with the LOOP Video Art Festival & Fair, InFocus Projectors and Institut Ramon Lull, explores the current state of the artist-made film and video.

Taken as a whole, the show explores a wide range of video practices, from abstraction to narrative; documentation to animation; installation to gaming. While at the same time, it also explores an array of themes that are common amongst many of today’s post-media generation, whether it’s relational aesthetics, the gothic, humor, the decorative or situationism.

A selection of the show will be presented in May 2010 in Barcelona, during LOOP 2010, in the Arts Santa Mònica.

Represented artists: Pilar Albarracín, Marc Aschenbrenner, Jubal Brown, Maria Cañas, Bruce Conner, Eddie D, Clorinde Durand, Driessens & Verstappen, Köken Ergun, Koto Ezawa, Arturo Fuentes, Jin Mihai Grecu, Michael Joachin Grey, Susanne Jirkuff, Patrick Jolly & Reynold Reynolds, Regina José Galindo, Silke Koch, Kurashige, Matteo Maté, Matthew Noel-Tod, Hans Op De Beeck, Nira Pereg, Jaime Pitarch, Roth Stauffenberg, Liv Strand, Magnus Wallin, Andro Wekua, Katarina Zdjelar
