Summary

Renée Green's diverse artistic practice since the late 1980s explores underwritten histories, collective memory, and cultural exchange through writing, installations, films, digital media, and sound. Her work critically examines cultural institutions and their ties to language and identity, while suggesting alternative modes of experience and becoming.

Prominent in the dynamic social and political contexts spanning the Americas and the Caribbean, Green investigates the movement and impact of art and ideas, interwoven with migration histories and displacement. Inevitable Distances compiles recent and early writings on her work, situating her output within a speculative constellation that reflects the encounters and journeys of a lifetime.

This publication is ideal for readers interested in contemporary art, cultural history, and the intersections of art with social and political issues. It appeals particularly to scholars, artists, and art enthusiasts keen to explore themes of migration, memory, and identity through innovative artistic forms.

Description

Since the late 1980s, Renée Green's multifaceted practice has imagined and expanded the ways in which art can surface and give form to underwritten histories, collective memory, and circuits of cultural exchange. Her writing, installations, films, digital media, and sound works continue to trace and interrogate the power of cultural institutions and their relationships to language, knowledge, and constitutions of selfhood, while at the same time, indicating other ways of being and becoming.

Green's work came to prominence and circulated within the social and political flows between the world and the Americas, a concept that includes the United States, Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean. Her practice continues to investigate the distribution and relay of art and ideas, and how these are braided with histories of migration and legacies of displacement, and the aesthetic forms and poetics that stem from these.

In one of the most comprehensive catalogues of her work since 2010, Inevitable Distances presents recent writing on Green's work with some of Green's early texts and influences. Indicating the encounters and distances travelled in a life's journey, both this publication and the exhibition it catalogues put her artistic production into a speculative and, at times, fictional constellation.

This book is co-published by DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, Berlin; Hatje Cantz; and KW Institute for Contemporary Art.
