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 and Sandra Terdjman, and a San Francisco, California location was added in 2011 in the Mission District.
From their mission statement: "Kadist Art Foundation encourages the contribution of the arts to society, conducting programs primarily with artists represented in its collection to promote their role as cultural agents. Kadist's collections and productions reflect the global scope of contemporary art, and its programs develop collaborations between Kadist's local contexts (Paris, San Francisco) and artists, curators and art institutions worldwide.
The Kadist collection includes video, performance, painting, sculpture and mixed media works. It is subdivided into multiple, sometimes overlapping collections.
The Paris Collection, established in 2001, is not bound by geography or media and consists of works by artists from many different regions. Its particularity is also to support artists through commissioned productions. In 2008, Kadist cofounds the Réseau Nord of contemporary art with Galerie Paul Frèches, Galerie Chappe, Isabelle Le Normand and Le Bal.
Besides the founding family members, and the Kadist-Paris staff, the Paris Collection committee comprises Jeremy Lewison, advisor, critic and curator, Rozenn Prat, Professor of Visual Arts, and Jean-Marc Prevost, director of the Carré d’Art, contemporary art Museum of Nîmes.
Artists in the Paris Collection include Akram Zaatari, Carlos Amorales, Charles Avery, Eleanor Antin. Francis Alÿs, Eric Baudelaire, Olaf Breuning, Yto Barrada, Yael Bartana, Guy Ben-Ner, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Chung and Maeda, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, and Claire Fontaine.
