Kadist is an interdisciplinary contemporary arts organization with an international contemporary art collection. Kadist hosts artist residencies and produces exhibitions, publications, and public events. Founded by Vincent Worms and Sandra Terdjman, the first location was opened in Paris in 2006. A San Francisco, California location was opened in the Mission District in 2011.[1][2]

Programs[edit]

Double Takes[edit]

Kadist's "Double Takes" program of video focused collaborations with art centers puts moving-image artworks from the Kadist collection in dialogue with local contributions, presented as public screenings and exhibitions and shared on their online platform [3]. Myth in Motion is an example of a Double Takes program in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. [4]

Exhibitions[edit]

Kadist hosts exhibitions by artists and curators, often in coordination with their residency program. Exhibitions are located at their Paris and San Francisco galleries. Kadist organizes curatorial collaborations with art spaces internationally, such as the 2024 Feet Under Fire: On Dispossession exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Panama.[5]

Artists they have worked with include Ryan Gander, Danh Vo, Francis Alÿs, and Roman Ondàk. They have co-produced large scale artist projects, including "Klau Mich" by Dora García and "Muster" by Clemens von Wedemeyer at Documenta (13).

Residencies[edit]

Kadist provides residencies for new artistic productions, publications, writers and curators. Residents include: Jota Mombaça , Xaviera Simmons, Rosella Biscotti, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, bookstore Ooga Booga and publications White Fungus, Nero, and Fillip.

Events[edit]

Kadist hosts an ongoing series of events in San Francisco and Paris, which have involved screenings, performances, conversations and live music.[6]

Collection[edit]

The Kadist collection was established in 2001 and includes film and video, performance, painting, photography, drawings and prints, sculpture, and installations. The collection focuses on five regions: the Middle East & Africa, Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe. Kadist has also commissioned artworks through its exhibition program and in collaboration with international biennials—some of which are part of the collection.

Advisors[edit]

Kadist collection artworks are nominated by a network of more than 20 advisors world-wide, and are reviewed and selected through a democratic process. Current advisors include Zoe Butt, Cosmin Costinas, Xiaoyu Weng, Shaleen Wadhwana, Azu Nwagbogu, Christine Tohmé, Fernanda Brenner, Miguel A. López, Kate Fowle, Kitty Scott, Prem Krishnamurthy.

Nomadic Collection[edit]

In 2023 Kadist inaugurated the "Nomadic Collection", making part of its collection available to international museums. This series was inaugurated with the Centre Pompidou [7]
