Renée Green: 'Inevitable Distances'
Since the late 1980s, Reno Green's multifaceted practice has imagined and expanded ways in which art becomes visible and latent historical narratives, collective memory, and circuits of cultural exchange take shape.
Green's texts, installations, films, works in digital media and sound works continue to pursue and question the power of cultural institutions and their relationship to language, knowledge and self-constitution, while at the same time pointing to alternative forms of being and becoming.
Green's work first gained prominence within the social and political discourses of America – the United States, Central and South America, and the Caribbean–. Her practice explores the dissemination and transmission of art and ideas, as well as their intertwining with histories of migration, the consequences of displacement, and the ästhetic forms and poetics that emerge from them.
Inevitable Distances takes place simultaneously at daadgalerie and KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin and presents an ¨overview üof Renée Green's practice from the early 1980s to the present. In one of Green's most comprehensive exhibitions since 2010, Inevitable Distances juxtaposes recent productions by the artist with some of her most recent and rarely shown works. This presentation traces numerous encounters in the artist's life and presents her artistic work in a speculative and sometimes fictional constellation
