Introducing the KADIST Collection
The KADIST collection serves as a starting point and resource for our programs. The artists are nominated by a world-wide network of advisors, and artworks are selected through a democratic process. This is our primary means of discovering new artists, some of whom are without gallery representation, and the collection provides them initial support. With over 2,200 artworks representing 1,400 artists (growing by ~100 artworks/year), the collection serves as a research aid, identifying a transnational group of artists in the vast landscape of the contemporary artworld.
The collection also includes over 800 media artworks, most of which are videos. Over the last 20 years KADIST has developed extensive experience in collecting and presenting video art. With KADIST TV, KADIST deepened its long-standing commitment to video as a vital artistic medium by creating a platform that serves as a gateway to video art, offering unlimited access to groundbreaking works and new perspectives.
