Exhibitors 2023

GENERAL PROGRAM
Selection of established national and international galleries with a remarkable trajectory in the contemporary art circuit.
*Associated galleries of Art Barcelona.

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

EMERGING LATAM
Focus LATAM, a section curated by Santiago Gasquet, co-director of PIEDRAS (Buenos Aires), is presented as a platform for exchange between management projects that promote recent productions by Latin American artists.
The section brings together six spaces that operate in the cities of Lima, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, Salta and Madrid, and focuses on the richness of the different ways of carrying out models of representation and promotion of young artists in each context.

SWAB SEED
This program showcases eleven independent and artist-run spaces that share experimentation as a common denominator. Swab Seed seeks 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), FOC (Barcelona), Cultural Rizoma (Celrà) and Espai 19 (Barcelona). During the days of the fair, these four self-managed spaces, which are set up as non-profit projects, present individual exhibition proposals that together generate a portrait of contemporary artistic trends in the local context. Based on different materializations, each project will allow us to glimpse the ways of working and the idiosyncrasies of each space, claiming different ways of making and presenting artistic practice.
