Samsøñ creates and presents programs that explore the diversity of cultures and voices that continually shape contemporary art and ideas today, introducing emerging and under-recognized artists as well as re-contextualizing established artists. It is our mission to act as an interdisciplinary laboratory for the convergence of film, video, performance, music, design and visual art.

There is no solution to the question or argument; not zero and not infinite. A condition: there is no question or argument that can support an answer. For every element of ∅ the property holds (vacuous truth); There is no element of ∅ for which the property holds.

Samsøñ is a member of the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA).
