Korea | LOOP Barcelona expands into Asia in 2025
Loop Lab Busan, the first Asian edition of the Barcelona-based new media art festival LOOP, will take place in Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city, until 10 June 2025. As part of the festival, an art fair dedicated to time-based media art will be held at Busan Grand Josun from 24 to 26 April, marking the first of its kind in Asia.
The Loop Lab Busan Exhibition is a collaborative citywide event spanning approximately 20 cultural spaces, including public and private museums, alternative spaces, and galleries throughout Busan, Korea.
As part of the larger Loop Lab Busan platform, the exhibition explores the evolving relationship between technology and humanity through contemporary new media art. The exhibition creates a collaborative festival that blends local and global influences, working with top curators to promote innovation and cultural exchange. Visitors can explore a wide range of contemporary media art—including video, installations, virtual reality, performances, and AI-driven works.
During the event, arts institutions form a community-type association and cooperate with each other to create a global alternative art festival that encompasses both local and international aspects and aims to be an open exhibition that collaborates with the best curators from home and abroad.
