The Samdani Art Foundation is a private art foundation founded in 2011 in Dhaka, Bangladesh that aims to increase artistic engagement between the art and architecture of Bangladesh and the rest of the world. [1] It is best known for producing the bi-annual Dhaka Art Summit, which is the highest daily visited contemporary art exhibition in the world, welcoming over 477,000 visitors in its fifth edition in February 2020. [2] The foundation produces education programmes and exhibitions across the year in collaboration with Bangladeshi and international institutions, and is one of the most active art institutions in South Asia.

Contents

Founders

Founded in 2011 by collector couple Nadia Samdani MBE and Rajeeb Samdani, the foundation has enabled Bangladeshi artists to expand their creative horizons through production grants, residencies, education programs, and exhibitions. The foundation produces the bi-annual Dhaka Art Summit, which is the world's largest non-commercial platform for South Asian Art. [6] The foundation also collects art from all over the world, and the collection is available for Bangladeshi audiences to view (by appointment). [7] The founders have also donated works from their collection to institutions such as Tate and the Metropolitan Museum of Art to put Bangladeshi modern art in a wider international context. [8] The foundation is led by American curator Diana Campbell Betancourt who is the artistic director of the foundation. Through the works it has produced, research it has supported, loans from its collection, sponsorship, and traveling exhibitions it has commissioned, Samdani Art Foundation has been associated with some of the world's leading institutions in the Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, and North America including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Swiss Institute and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Getty Foundation in Los Angeles, Para Site, M+, and the Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Alserkal Avenue and Art Jameel in Dubai, the Venice Biennale, Documenta in Athens and Kassel, the Kunsthalle Zurich, the Kunstalle Basel, the Liverpool Biennial, Tate Modern and the Delfina Foundation in London, Singapore Biennale, the Kochi Biennale in India, The Asia Pacific Triennale at QAGOMA in Brisbane, the Shanghai Biennale, the Times Museum in Guangzhou, OCA in Oslo and the Kunsthall Trondheim in Norway, the Fiorucci Art Trust's Volcano Extravaganza in Stromboli, Berlin Biennale, Kettle's Yard in Cambridge, The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka, Museum MAIIAM in Chiang Mai, the Lahore Biennale, TS1 in Yangon, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Artspace Sydney, RAW Material Company in Dakar, and Gudskul, in Jakarta, among others. [9] [10] [11] [12]

Activities

The Samdani Art Foundation collaborates with international institutions to increase scholarship and exhibition opportunities for South Asian Artists, as Bangladesh lacks a developed gallery representation system and formal collecting art institutions. While it works extensively internationally, the Foundation is at its core locally rooted, as evidenced by initiatives such as the Samdani Artist Led Initiatives Forum. Founded in 2017, the Samdani Artist Led Initiatives forum supports the work of artist led grass roots art institutions through education programmes, publishing, and microgrants to support community engaged practice. [13] [14] The ongoing Samdani Seminars program gives Bangladeshi artists access to workshops to explore mediums of artmaking and theory that are not covered in Bangladeshi art education systems. All of the foundation's activities are free of charge and open to the public, most notably the Dhaka Art Summit. [15] [16]

Collection

Major collection areas of the Samdani Art Foundation include Bangladeshi contemporary artists, Bangladeshi masters and moderns, Indian contemporary artists, Pakistani contemporary artists as well as major artists of the Bengal School of Art. The Samdani collection is international, but the foundation has a focus on collecting South Asian artists and producing new work with international artists who engage deeply with the unique context of Bangladesh. The collection is available to view by appointment at Golpo – the Samdani residence, but a dedicated space for the exhibition of works from the collection is under development in Sylhet at Srihatta, the Samdani Art Centre and Sculpture Park, designed by the Bangladeshi architect Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury (URBANA), a former winner of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. [17]
