Loop, the International Festival and Fair for Video Art, is in the city and over 800 artists will be showing their work at more than a one hundred city locations. Staying at a Barcelona accommodation you might consider to join one of the amazing performances. Professionals and anyone who is interested in videoart are welcome to the Loop Fair 2008 which brings together gallery owners, collectors, critics, museum directors and videoart enthusiasts. The Catalonia Ramblas Hotel is the venue for this fair (Opening hours: 9th and 10th of May from 16h to 21h). The whole festival, held from the 6th to the 18th of May will indeed turn the Catalunya sunshine capital into the capital of video art. The Loop Barcelona also includes international collections. One that stands out is the exhibition "For Your Eyes Only" at the Fundació Suñol. It is the place where the latest acquisitions of the FRAC, a contemporary art collection in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region of France, are presented.
