GENERAL

Swab presents a new edition of its General Programme, responding to the current dynamics of contemporary art. This year's selection of galleries and spaces reflects a broader shift: the boundaries between established galleries and independent initiatives are becoming increasingly blurred, while practices once considered peripheral now occupy a central place in contemporary artistic narratives, where questions surrounding access to contemporary art have taken on renewed significance.Artist-run spaces, emerging galleries, and experimental initiatives continue to operate at the margins of a market that, in recent years, has increasingly concentrated around major players. Yet it is precisely these projects that are shaping new directions within contemporary discourse: they embrace risk, propose alternative models of sustainability in new contexts, and critically expand the boundaries of what an art fair can encompass.

EXs

Exs (L'Hospitalet del Llobregat)

EXs is an independent space dedicated to the production and dissemination of contemporary artistic practices. Based in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, it builds bridges between the art scenes of Spain and Latin America, with a particular focus on Argentina. Its mission is to promote cultural exchange and the circulation of art, fostering dialogues, encounters, and new connections between artists, curators, institutions, and other cultural agents.

Artists: Jazmín Giudici, Leire Lacunza Miranda
