Emerging

Swab Emerging is a subsection of the General Program, presenting galleries with less than five years of trayectory.

Focus LATAM joins Swab Emerging as a curated section by Santiago Gasquet, co-director of PIEDRAS (Buenos Aires), who will present the most promising emerging proposals of the Latin American contemporary art scene.

For this first edition of Focus, Gasquet proposes a selection of six hybrid and self-managed spaces that, with less than five years of trajectory, already make up a network of new dynamics of art circulation in the Latin American context.

The galleries participating in this program explore alternative formats of production and management and, within the framework of the fair, present artistic proposals that seek to generate a field for the construction of knowledge, discourses and identity given by the characteristics of the context each one of them inhabits.
