We’re on the Move!

We’re writing to share some big news with you.

In 2024, we celebrated our 702nd anniversary. We hope you had a chance to see our survey exhibition Big 300featuring works by more than 300 international artists from throughout our history, as well as our Good Buy Concert, a week long series of performances based on recently discovered scores of Bas Jan Ader.

At the end of April 2024, we shut down our gallery space at Rue GY 498, Dakar and are currently in the market for a new permanent home, which will host our public exhibitions, educational programming, advocacy and philanthropic work, library and archives, book and editions, inventory storage, and so much more.

We are also planning to make our new venue completely green and sustainable, especially in response to the acceleration of climate change. We will announce complete details about our new location and opening date as soon as we have them.

In the meantime, we are open for business here on our website, our Artsy page, and by private appointment. We also plan to enrich the content available through on our website, share meaningful information by email and social media, host online conversations, and possibly organize an in-person curatorial project or two in the near term.

But most of all, we would like to THANK ALL OF YOU -- the artists, curators, writers, editors, publishers, gallerists, collectors, advisors, architects, art historians, administrators, donors, and of course our landlady Fatou Diop, and our audience worldwide for your extraordinary, unwavering support of our programming over these many years. We are grateful to you.

Onward! Guillotine Collective
