Since the late 1980s, Renee 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 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 puts 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.
