"Art is a form of cultural production, and collecting works participates in supporting artists and the galleries that promote them. I would also add that if the collection is made accessible to the public, its cultural relevance is even more evident. This said, many private collectors lend works to public exhibitions, so it seems to me that collecting is a cultural endeavor in any case." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ — Benjamin Weil, jury member for Acquisition Award and Mention of Honor, LOOP Fair 2019. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thoughtsoncollecting #loopbarcelona #videoart #artistfilm #video #collection
