Programs
editKADIST's "Double Takes" is a program that exhibits film and video works through public screenings and exhibitions and shared on their online platform. Myth in Motion is an example of a Double Takes program in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The 2023 exhibit presented the works of five female artists.[3]
KADIST hosts exhibitions by artists and curators, often in coordination with their residency program. Exhibitions are located at their Paris and San Francisco galleries. KADIST organizes curatorial collaborations with art spaces internationally, such as the 2024 Feet Under Fire: On Dispossession exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Panama.[4]
Artists they have worked with include Ryan Gander, Danh Vo, Hank Willis Thomas and Roman Ondàk. They have co-produced large scale artist projects, including "Klau Mich" by Dora García and "Muster" by Clemens von Wedemeyer at Documenta (13).[citation needed]
KADIST provides residencies for new artistic productions, publications, writers and curators. Residents include: Jota Mombaça, Xaviera Simmons, Rosella Biscotti, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, bookstore Ooga Booga and publications White Fungus, Nero, and Fillip.[citation needed]
KADIST hosts an ongoing series of events in San Francisco and Paris, which have involved screenings, performances, conversations and live music.[5]
Collection
editThe KADIST collection was established in 2001 and includes film and video, performance, painting, photography, drawings and prints, sculpture, and installations. The collection focuses on five regions: the Middle East & Africa, Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe. KADIST has also commissioned artworks through its exhibition program and in collaboration with international biennials—some of which are part of the collection.[citation needed]
In 2023, KADIST inaugurated the "Nomadic Collection", making part of its collection available to international museums. This series was inaugurated with the Centre Pompidou[6]
