ABOUT TRIADIC
TRIADIC is a creative house that specializes in the conception, curation and production of multidisciplinary, site-specific art collaborations that sit outside of traditional institutional contexts. Our mission is to democratize art through impactful collective experiences, often unconventionally fusing large-scale installations, live music, design, and performance art.
Founded by an art curator, a creative director and a business strategist, we bring our clients the expertise and network of the institutional art world as well as a corporate know-how, supporting them to become relevant contributors in the creative community. Our business development branch focuses on fostering new dialogues between our clients and the creative world, uniquely allowing us to act as both creative orchestrators and strategic advisors.
Notably, TRIADIC co-founded the cross-disciplinary music & art festival FORMAT in Arkansas in 2022, alongside Live Nation. Memorable collaborations included: a Nick Cave sound suit performance with Nile Rodgers & Chic; Phoenix performing alongside a Studio Drift drone show; a generative AI sound and video work by John Gerrard & Richie Hawtin; and a Jacolby Satterwhite & Performa multimedia dance work inside an airplane hangar. Other recent projects include: ‘Still Here’, a book of more than 100 still-life images and writings by creatives across five continents during the global pandemic; curating the iconic jam band Phish’s Mondegreen Festival in 2024 with a dozen installations and over 40,000 attendees; and currently, being curators-in-residence at The Art House in Mumbai’s Nita & Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center for over three years, producing site specific commissions with a range of established artists that have been visited by over 150,000 people.
Additional past clients include: Performa, Lever House Art Collection, Relais & Chateaux, C3 Presents, Global Citizen, Sotheby’s, Google, Citibank, Chanel, Gucci, Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons, and many more.
TRIADIC is based out of London, Vienna and New York City, but operates globally.
