Kadist is an interdisciplinary contemporary arts organization with an international contemporary art collection. In addition to being a collecting body, Kadist hosts artists residencies and produces exhibitions, publications, and public events. The first location was opened in Paris in 2006 by Vincent Worms^[1] and Sandra Terdjman, and a San Francisco, California location was added in 2011 in the Mission District.

Programs

• Exhibitions: With a gallery space both in Paris and San Francisco, Kadist hosts exhibitions by artists and curators, often in coordination with their residency program. Artists they have worked with include Ryan Gander, Danh Vo, Francis Alÿs, and Roman Ondàk. Additionally they have co-produced large scale artist projects, including "Klau Mich" by Dora García and "Muster" by Clemens von Wedemeyer at DOCUMENTA (13).
• Residencies: Kadist provides residencies for new artistic productions, publications, writers and curators. Recent residents include artists Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, bookstore Ooga Booga and publications White Fungus, Nero, and Fillip.
• Events: Kadist San Francisco hosts an ongoing series of events, frequently on Wednesdays, which have involved screenings, performances, conversations, and game shows.

Collection

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 four regions: the Middle East, Asia, The Americas and Europe. Kadist has also commissioned artworks through its residency program and in collaboration with international biennials—some of which are part of the collection.
