About LOOP Barcelona:
For the
21st edition of LOOP Fair, the fair will once again transform the
Almanac Barcelona into an intimate and fully immersive space dedicated to artists films.
LOOP Fair provides a platform for exchange of critical ideas within the art world and fosters collaboration between artists, galleries, collectors, and many others moving image professionals.
This year’s presentations significantly explore the bridges between the symbolic world and the conception of nature, like the intertwining the presence of the animal kingdom with the notion of the landscape. They also delve into the essence of time, by addressing reflections on memory and archives. Additionally, some works stand out for denouncing issues related to protests and political conflicts, offering a critical artistic perspective within a context that brings together international galleries and audiences.

About the artist:
KENT CHAN (b. 1984, Singapore) is an artist, curator and filmmaker based in Netherlands and Singapore. His practice revolves around our encounters with art, fiction and cinema that form a triumvirate of practices porous in form, content and context. He holds particular interest in the tropical imaginary, the past and future relationships between heat and art, and contestations to the legacies of modernity as the epistemology par excellence. His works have taken the form of film, text, conversations and exhibitions.
