Barcelona, June 19th.- It is official: this 2020 SWAB will carry out its first virtual edition. The health crisis and the impossibility of guaranteeing a 100% safe event for everyone, has led the Barcelona contemporary art fair to propose a fully digital format. From October 1st to 15th, SWAB can be visited virtually through an interactive app almost like a 3D video game that has been created by the team of architects and programmers of the fair itself in order to achieve the highest sensory quality of the fair at a digital level.This way, SWAB wants to provide an experience that will bring the user closer to what the physical fair would have been and that gives continuity to the artistic proposal of the exhibitors, generating direct contact between them and visitors with the possibility of walking through the corridors and visiting stands as would be done physically. Despite the fact that this 2020 is celebrated in an unfavourable context, SWAB wants to take the opportunity to explore new formats from which to learn and grow.
1st – Oct 15th
Swab Barcelona is an international art fair that brings together galleries from around the world, curated projects, and collector programs to showcase young, emerging talent in contemporary art.
It is a place to discover the most innovative artistic proposals and meet the local and international artists from all disciplines who are pushing the boundaries of expression and tracing the course of the art scene for coming years.
