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.
