About KADIST
KADIST believes contemporary artists make an important contribution to a progressive society, their work often addressing key issues of our time. KADIST, a non-profit organization dedicated to exhibiting the work of artists represented in its collection, encourages this engagement and affirms contemporary art’s relevance within social discourse. KADIST’s local hubs in Paris and San Francisco present exhibitions and events, and organize residencies and educational initiatives, as well as producing projects online and via social media. Concurrently, KADIST is actively establishing networks across five areas—North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Asia and Latin America—inviting new artists into the collection and initiating collaborative programs, especially exhibitions with museums of each region. Together, they aim at facilitating new connections across cultures and creating vibrant conversations about contemporary art and ideas.
KADIST Collection
The collection serves as a starting point and resource for our programs. Our collection artists are nominated by a world-wide network of advisors, and artworks are selected through a democratic process. This is also our primary means of discovering new artists, some of whom are without gallery representation, and the collection provides them initial support. With over 1,600 artworks representing over 800 artists (and growing by ~100 artworks each year), the collection serves as a research aid, identifying a transnational group of artists in the vast landscape of the contemporary artworld.
