Renée Green solo project at the National Maritime Museum, London
1 Jan 2009
January 22 – April 21, 2009
Endless Dreams and Water Between is a project by the artist Renée Green, commissioned by the National Maritime Museum. The material cultures of maritime history are intertwined with desires and dreams that are carried across the oceans through experience, representation, misrepresentation and projections of past and present. This exhibition pays attention to the varied ways cultures perceive and conceive of the world. These understandings and perceptions are developed through struggles for happiness, the imaginary, systems for comprehension and dreams, as well as by the pursuit of these very desires. Renée Green has consistently returned to ideas of time and the sea throughout her artistic practice. Endless Dreams and Water Between intertwines these stories of relationships to water and islands with fictional accounts of contemporary island inhabitants and voyagers. Crossing the Mediterranean Sea, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, as well as the Hudson River, San Francisco Bay and the waters of the Balearic Islands, these journeys point to the assumptions, understandings and creation of island-ideas and idea-islands.

Renée Green in Manifesta 7
19 Jul 2008
Fortezza/Franzenfeste
Adam Budak, Anselm Franke/Hila Peleg, RAQS Media Collective: "SCENARIOS"
July 19 to November 2, 2008
Manifesta is one of the most important European Biennials of Contemporary Art and it takes place every two years in different cities. In 2008 for the first time Manifesta will take place not in a city but in a whole region: Trentino – South Tyrol, Italy. The area has been selected for its historical heritage, its artistic and cultural facilities and especially for its striking examples of industrial archaeology buildings, which are linked to the work history and the progressive industrialisation of the territory. This land has always been a bridge between Latin and German culture and it connects cultural developments as well as Southern and Northern habits.
Manifesta 7 will take place in several venues chosen amongst the most important examples of industrial archaeology existing in the Brenner axis, from Rovereto to Trento, from Bolzano to the fortress of Fortezza, to create a broad, multi-faceted event characterized as “100 miles in 100 days”.
Along with the various exhibitions, the whole territory itself can be seen as the catalyst for a series of collateral events, encouraging research and focusing on the relationship between different cultures.

Renée Green: Ongoing Becomings. Retrospective 1989-2009
by Nicole Schweizer (Editor), Nora Alter (Author), Diedrich Diederichsen (Author), Renée Green (Author), Kobena Mercer (Author), Catherine Quéloz (Author), Juliane Rebentisch (Author), Gloria Sutton (Author), Elvan Zabunyan (Author)
This monograph provides the first overview of the variety and scope of the research carried out by Renée Green (*1959 in Cleveland, Ohio, lives and works in New York and San Francisco) over the past twenty years through mediums as varied as film, video, installation, sound-related works, photographs, prints, banners, texts, websites, and ephemera.
Renée Green’s work is located both within the legacy of the most ambitious achievements of Conceptual and post-Minimal art, and within a post-colonial critique of culture. It often takes the form of complex, multi-layered archive-like installations that employ a vast array of sources, and point to a variety of issues, always involving the spectator as active participant through multiple points of access. The essays by Nora Alter, Diedrich Diederichsen, Kobena Mercer, Catherine Quéloz, Gloria Sutton, Elvan Zabunyan, and the interview between Juliane Rebentisch and Renée Green not only give an historical overview of the artist’s work, but engage with issues central to her practice such as questions of genealogy and memory, archives and their reworkings, movements and displacements, site-specificity and location, positionalities and perceptions. They offer new insight into the artist’s specific use of images, sound and text, and her inscription in art history.
