Track II Screening Program | DRC NO. 12 & KADIST
As of December 2023, DRC No. 12, together with the Kadist Art Foundation, will launch Track II, a year-long film screening program.
Based on DRC No. 12’ s longstanding artistic practice, the program is yet another attempt at expanding artistic exchanges within the framework of the site-specificity of the Diplomatic Residence Compound. Track II will select, from Kadist’s worldwide moving-images collection, works that are capable of prompting critical reflections, utilizing their narrative power to generate new dialogues at the specific sites of the existing artist projects.
Just as the title Track II suggests, the screening program is inspired by the historical practices of Track Two Diplomacy, emphasizing the importance of unofficial channels and private citizens in resolving conflict and signifying the role artists play in shaping inter-cultural relations.

Track II 放映计划 | 外交公寓12号 & KADIST
2023年12月起，外交公寓12号空间将携手KADIST卡蒂斯特艺术基金会（以下简称KADIST）共同开启为期一年的放映合作计划Track II。
本计划基于外交公寓12号空间长期以来的艺术实践展开，是又一次以“外交公寓”在地属性为基础的交流尝试。Track II 将在KADIST覆盖全球范围的动态影像收藏中，选择适宜于进行批判性对话的作品，借由影像的替代性叙事能力，在个人项目的特殊场域中形成全新的对话。
正如计划名称“Track II”所展示的那样，本计划受到历史上这一外交政策的启发，强调非官方人物和民间形式参与解决争议时的重要作用，在此指涉艺术家在塑造文化交流格局中所扮演的角色。
