SWAB SEED
This program showcases eleven independent, artist-run spaces that share experimentation as a common denominator. Swab Seed aims to give visibility to new platforms and proposals that are shaking up the contemporary scene.
SOLO SHOW by Vila Casas
SOLO by Fundació Vila Casas is a program curated by independent curators Carla Gimeno Jaria and Margot Cuevas, in collaboration with Fundació Vila Casas.
For this 2023 edition, SOLO by Fundació Vila Casas invites Half House (Barcelona), F O C (Barcelona), Cultural Rizoma (Celrà), and Espai19 (Barcelona). During the SWAB fair, these four self-managed spaces, which operate as non-profit projects, present individual exhibition proposals that together generate a portrait of contemporary artistic trends in the local context. Through different materializations, each project will allow glimpses into the working methods and idiosyncrasies of each space, advocating for different ways of creating and working with artistic practice.
MY FAF
Selection of three young contemporary art galleries, under two years old, that have not yet participated in any international fairs. Swab offers this space free of charge to help promote new emerging galleries.
