2nd Edition of the Video Creation Award
Xarxa de Centres d’Arts Visuals de Catalunya, Arts Santa Mònica & LOOP Barcelona
LOOP Festival 2016 opens its programme with the premiere of Wonders by Carles Congost (Olot, 1970), the winning video of the second edition of the Video Production Prize promoted by the Xarxa de Centres d’Arts Visuals de Catalunya, Arts Santa Mònica and LOOP Barcelona.
Interdisciplinary Artist, Carles Congost graduated in Fine Arts from the Universidad de Barcelona, 1994. Carles Congost’s work combines different mediums and supports including video, music, drawing and photography. In his work there are constant references to the world of comics, consumer music, fantastic film and television culture. The decidedly low-tech character of his early work gradually disappeared moving into productions that stand out for their ever increasing technical complexity. He has exhibited in some of the most important art centres and galleries both nationally and internationally, such as MoMA, Palais de Tokyo, Fundación Miró, the MNAC Reina Sofía and the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin.
