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.
For more than two decades, the artist Renee Green has created an
impressive body of work in which language is an essential element.
Green is also a prolific writer and a major voice in the
international art world. "Other Planes of There" gathers for the
first time a substantial collection of the work she wrote between
1981 and 2010. The selected essays initially appeared in
publications in different countries and languages, making their
availability in this volume a boon to those wanting to follow
Green's artistic and intellectual trajectory.
Charting this cosmopolitan artist's thinking through the decades,
"Other Planes of There" brings essays, film scripts, reviews, and
polemics together with reflections on Green's own artistic practice
and seminal artworks. It immerses the reader in three decades of
contemporary art showcasing the art and thought, the incisive
critiques and prescient observations of one of our foremost artists
and intellectuals. Sound, cinema, literature, time-based media, and
the relationship between art forms and other forms of knowledge are
just a few of the matters that Green takes up and thinks through.
Featuring a new visual essay created by the artist for this volume,
"Other Planes of There" is lavishly illustrated with 290
illustrations, 249 of which appear in color.
