in progress
This year’s edition of LOOP Festival will then look at production as an open-ended process of creation that simultaneously determines and affects the artists’ practice as well as the related modes of distribution and circulation in art.
Participants: Sander Breure, Witte van Hulzen, Marianna Simnett, Claude Adijl and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Participants
