Renee Green

Description

This is the first comprehensive monograph devoted to New York and San Francisco-based artist Renée Green. Over the past 20 years, through film, video, sound art, photographs, prints, banners, texts, websites and ephemera, Green’s work has comprised complex, multi-layered archive-like installations, employing a vast array of sources, which always urge viewers to become active participants. Included in this superbly illustrated volume are newly commissioned essays by a host of esteemed media scholars, art historians, critics and curators–Nora Alter, Diedrich Diederichsen, Kobena Mercer, Catherine Quéloz, Gloria Sutton and Elvan Zabunyan–who engage issues central to Green’s oeuvre, such as genealogy, archives and their reworkings, movements and displacements, site specificity and location. show more
