It had many short essays, some focused upon the exhibited artists, and others on the loop as a concept, but none really longer than 5 pages (however the catalog was in a Vogue-like page layout so the 5 pages may be close to 10 pages if placed into a book).  Each of the editors contributed a text.

Of course, one of the ways cinema got its start was in showcasing simple looped images, but I'm particularly interested in its role in avant-garde film, expanded cinema, video art, etc. Articles about repetition as a technique would be of interest too, though those are a bit easier to come by.
