ADN Galeria
Carrer Mallorca, 205
This video involves 30 individuals of Cuban origin who reside in the vicinity of the Sierra Maestra mountains, a historically significant location in the Cuban Revolution. These inhabitants recreate the revolutionary soundscape using objects and materials found in their precarious environments. The project aims to expose the gap between past political ideology and the current reality of disillusionment and decay, creating a contrast between what is seen and what is heard in a context of outdated ethical and aesthetic values.
Exhibitions: Relatos desde la cima
Artists: Adrian Melis

Aguas
C/ Fraternitat, 10-12
'Fuel to Fire' is a video that brings the viewer into a 'pagamento' or payback of gold to a body of water. This ritual was performed for the wellbeing and conservation of the 'Páramo de Santurbán', a moorland ecosystem of North West Colombia, which holds large -soughtafter- deposits of gold. The 'pagamento' is an indigenous ecological and economic fundamental protocol, that maintains the flow and balance of life cycles on earth. When accumulation happens, sickness arrives, and so it's necessary to give back by letting go of something that is dear, that implies labor, or that is highly symbolic.
Exhibitions: Fuel to Fire
Artists: Carolina Caycedo. Curated by Rodrigue Mouchez Armendariz.

Carrer del Bisbe Laguarda, 16, 08001 Barcelona
Eden and Babylon 2023, is Rob Garbutt's single-channel audio-visual response, with accompanying text, to Eden Creek in north-eastern NSW, Australia. The work explores the limits of language (whether visual, sonic or written) to understand a land that is far from solid; a land in creation over eons, intimately understood by First Nations Bundjalung people through knowledge developed over millennia, and radically transformed by colonists from the United Kingdom during the last 180 years. A descendant of these colonists, Rob struggles to express a connection with the babbling fluidity of Eden Creek. Curated by Fiona Fell.
Exhibitions: Eden and Babylon
Artists: Rob Garbutt

Chiquita Room
C/ Villarroel, 25, 08011 Barcelona
“Stabat Mater” is a film about motherhood and separation. It is built upon the repetition of an eighteen seconds film. The nude portrait of the artist herself is a painting by the artist’s former husband. The audio of the film is the mix of a dialogue in Italian, between the artist’s daughter and the artist’s former husband, with the first movement of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater. The text of the dialogue is superimposed over the footage in a gigantic sized type which grows smaller with each repetition until it disappears, while the voices subside and the music takes over. Curated by: Sophia Ma.
Exhibitions: Stabat Mater
Artists: Marina Sagona

Die Ecke arte contemporáneo
Montmany 27, Local
A tree that saw history go by, saw the creation of a world, saw the first Mapuche indigenous people spend time under its shadow, saw the first wars between colonizers, a tree that speaks with its branches. The camera scans its skin, its trunk and its intimate and powerful history, slowly until discovering it in its immensity. Known as Lañilawal or Millennial Larch, it could be the oldest tree on the planet. One researcher estimates that it grew more than 5,000 years ago, long before the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Exhibitions: Alerce
Artists: Enrique Ramirez

El Sielo
C/ Salvador, 22, 4, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat
The Pelele (Deán Funes, Córdoba, Argentina, 1993) is an artist/character, a phantasmagorical entity that transcends dimensions. THE NETWORK OF THE WIND is configured as a Bestiary. A selection of strange beings is presented as evidence of a fiction, as a vital component of a diegesis.
Exhibitions: The Network of the Wind
Artists: The Pelele

Espai Souvenir
Travessia de Sant Antoni, 27
Love Collapse is a site-specific installation that arises from the collaboration between the artists Nathalie Rey, Enric Maurí and the theorist Federica Matelli. In this sense, it represents a reverse curatorial experiment, in which from a text written by the curator about desire and love mediated by technology, the artist duo has created the unpublished work that we can see at Espai Souvenir.
Exhibitions: Love Collapse
Artists: Nathalie Rey + Enric Maurí. Curated by Federica Matelli

Fuga Gallery
C/ Lluís el Piadós, 3
Through an autobiographical piece, the author explores the poetics of the hidden image in a space of tension that debates the desire to remember as opposed to the right to forget, in relation to the political events of her country of birth, Iran. With an extremely austere language, in a video accompanied by drawings, the author pushes the image to its limits, questioning it between what is exposed and what is hidden. Both in the erased drawings and in the video testimony on the unexposed family photographs, the dense emptiness is translated into a highly symbolic matter.
Exhibitions: Past is (Not) Prologue
Artists: Shirin Salehi

Galeria Chez Chefo
C/ Badajoz, 46, 08005 Barcelona
The Captain inspects the ship... The deck shines under the setting sun. Diagonally, with golden reflections. It emerges over the waters towards a new voyage. False, orthogonal and polyhedral... Reality as I knew it will never be lived again. The crew ends up numb... He alone, with his ship adrift... Sail to infinity. And... further... if I could.

Galería by Lastcrit
Carrer de Méndez Núñez, 7, 08003 Barcelona
The mind takes the form of the external object, just as the water that comes out of a tank takes the form of the ditch. OTRORA is a video installation by Argentine artist Florencia Ramón. The artwork is constructed at the intersection of color, body, and nature. Florencia approaches her creations through site-specific techniques, land art, and instant composition. She uses the video format as a vessel to exhibit a glimpse of her explorations and research on movement, improvisation, and the present state.
Exhibitions: Otrora
Artists: Florencia Ramón

LAB 36
C/ Trafalgar, 36, 08010 Barcelona
In his treatise on melancholy, Aristotle distinguished between symmetrical and asymmetrical humors. Whether melancholy was a disease or a quality of extraordinary men depended on the preeminence of one or the other. XXX, I is a journey along a mysterious road that explores the relationship between symmetry and its rupture; a journey through melancholy.
Exhibitions: XXX, I
Artists: José María de Orbe

Marlands - Casa de Rússia
Carrer de Josep Anselm Clavé, 31, 08002 Barcelona
The exhibition showcases art installations, inviting viewers to reconsider the concept of the Mediterranean as an integral part of our culture and way of thinking. It explores the intersections and inevitable processes of hybridization, bridging the gap between imagined pasts and potential futures. Through immersive multimedia installations, spectators are transported into a Mediterranean universe, a space where lands and seas converge and diverge, creating unique connections. The art works depict the sea as a liminal place that brings together diverse cultures and peoples through continuous transformation and interaction, serving as an inspiration for developing imagination and creativity. Curated by: Elena Posokhova.
Exhibitions: Known sea
Artists: Sergei Rostropovich, Klitsa Antoniou, Lisa Boostani, Sarah KNILL-JONES, Macha Pangilinan, Kalie Granier, Anne Comet.

Metafora Studio Arts
Carrer de Papin 29, 08028 Barcelona
In her film practice, Leyli Alakbarova investigates the influence that the place of birth and inhabitance may have on the way we perceive the world. Her films presented in the frame of the LOOP festival explore the long-term effect that being a part of the Soviet Union had on the people of Azerbaijan. Her work is based on daily scenes, domestic situations, educational institutions, and their role in people’s lives in Azerbaijan in the 80s and 90s when everything and everyone was highly influenced by the Soviet Union regime and later its collapse. Curated by Jette Bjerg and Marc Larré.
Exhibitions: The Quilted Child
Artists: Leyli Alakbarova

RocioSantaCruz
Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 627, 08010 Barcelona
Place the body in the center, but not to categorize and fix it, but to generate a movement of digression, an attempt to think of forms from which to constitute it. Images that, in their collisions and vibrations, also want to coalesce as a significant body, images, on the other hand, that are welcomed by our bodies in their multiple resonances. Traversing the space of the gallery as a passage of images that stand open and where to look also means the encounter with a limit or a fracture, an opening where the bodies take position, without reconciling their mismatch. Curated by: Andrea Soto Calderón
Exhibitions: Teoria dels cossos
Artists: Oriol Vilapuig

Suburbia Contemporary
Carrer de Valencia, 345, 08009 – Barcelona, Spain
"Un_i[n]verso" is an audiovisual sculpture, combining sound, video, rebar sculptures, lights, and shadows in a site-specific installation. It explores the concept of matter, merging various media types to create an artistic form where the viewer experiences a cohesive whole. The work takes the viewer on a dramaturgical journey, starting from macroscopic digital landscapes, delving into deconstructed cities, and floating between reality and imagination in a constant, slow zoom. Curated by: Francesco Ozzola
Exhibitions: Un_i[n]verso
Artists: Gianluca Iadema

Tangent Projects
Carrer Marti Cordolar 41 - 43, Local 2, 08902, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat
Intermittent is an alert signal, and it is also a type of Spanish labor contract. It is the rhythm of an artist who must juggle their art practice with another job. Intermittent is Maíra das Neves’ first solo show in Barcelona, where she will present her most recent artworks: the video-essay Life Span, two self-portrait photographs, and the dark watercolor sets Workdays. Intermittent offers a subjective perspective from personal experience as a cognitarian worker, the proletarian class of the late capitalism and its data economy.
