Private Institution is a Paris-based independent initiative by Azad Asifovich & Hannah Kreile, dedicated to promoting contemporary art with a focus on Global Asias, the Caucasus region, MENA, their diasporas, and liminal spaces, fostering meaningful dialogue through curatorial projects.

Situated at 18, rue de Montmorency in the Marais art district, Private Institution’s programme features meticulously thought duo shows that bring together established and emerging artists. In each pairing—whether united as kindred spirits or dynamic adversaries—one artist always hails from the aforementioned regions or their diasporas.

Private Institution fulfils its mission by curating exhibitions, offering bespoke art advisory services to private collectors, and facilitating the inclusion of select artworks in prominent institutional collections worldwide.
