Saâdane Afif (born 1970 in Vendôme, Loir-et-Cher Département, France) is a French conceptual artist.

[1] Afif's work has been exhibited at many venues, including the Museum Folkwang (Essen, Germany) in 2004.

In 2006, he was awarded the International Prize for Contemporary Art of the Fondation Prince Pierre de Monaco at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

In this project, Afif collects and archives every single publication in which he finds a reproduction of Duchamp's urinal.

It highlighted some aspects of African influence in a new and unusual light, since this was also connected to modern French art and literature.

In 2004, as part of his exhibition Melancholic Beat at the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Saâdane Afif requested artist Lili Reynaud-Dewar to write lyrics relatedto the four works exhibited: Brume, Everyday, Black Spirit and Blue Time.

Saâdane Afif's work can be found in numerous museums and public collections around the world.

Selected public collections include numerous regional contemporary art funds ("fonds régional d'art contemporain, FRAC"), notably those of the Île-de-France, Poitou-Charentes, Champagne-Ardenne and Pays de la Loire regions, as well as the FRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur; the collection of the Lafayette Anticipations foundation; the Centre national des arts plastiques (CNAP) and the Kadist foundation.
