Why Swab 2025?

Swab proposal is to break with the elitist and hermetic idea that often surrounds the contemporary art scene, making it more accessible to the general public. Swab wants to be a Fair to discover, a place to find works never seen at other Fairs. That is the reason why its selection committee formed by gallery directors and art professionals not only make a selection of received applicants. At Swab, process of election is based on searching and following the artist’s works from any discipline that represents in any way the emergent art of their countries. Swab combines the participation at the Fair by invitation and by application.

The event provides a lot of opportunities for niche-specific exchange of professional know-how. Swab is at the Fira Montjuic Exhibition Centre in Barcelona which is a major venue in the city and is easy to get to. So if you are looking for some high culture to broaden your artistic horizons then SWAB is definitely an event not to miss.
