LOOPFair2020 The

#LOOPFair2020 - The selection We are happy to announce that The Goma (Madrid) @galeriathegoma will be participating to the LOOP Fair for the first time, with a video by Spanish artist Cristina Garrido (Madrid, 1986) @krystynagarrido , titled “Boothworks” - 2017. “Boothworks” is a fictional documentary in which a voice off describes, from an uncertain future, an international art form consolidating around the 2010s. This new art form, carried out by the gallerists of the time, took the gallery booth as an artistic medium and the art fair as its exhibition space. Booth art, as the narrator calls it, was nomadic, portable, anti-gallery, ephemeral, performative, site-specific and attempted to resist commodification… However, the narrator problematizes this challenging art form questioning its relationship to capitalism, its social impact, the shift of focus from the art object to its context, the institutional and curatorial aims that promoted these practices and how the figure of the art critic became unnecessary under these new circumstances. #LOOPBarcelona #LOOPFair2020 #fairselection #videoartfair #movingimage #cristinagarrido #thegoma #artfairs #galleries #artsystem #artjetset #performance #institutionalcritique
