Renée Green
Renée Green is an artist, writer, and filmmaker known for her highly layered and formally complex multimedia installations in which ideas, perception, and experience are examined from myriad perspectives.
Via films, essays and writings, installations, digital media, architecture, sound-related works, film series and events, her work engages with explorations into circuits of relation and exchange over time, the gaps and shifts in what survives in public and private memories, as well as what has been imagined and invented.
At Borås Art Museum, Green presents Space Poem #7 (Color Without Objects: Intra-Active May-Words) (2020), which is composed of twenty-eight double sided banners hanging from the gallery ceiling. Invoking the words of American Swedish poet May Swenson, the work invites viewers into a textual and spatial dialogue with words, color, and form. Space Poem #7 continues Green’s ongoing investigation into transmutation and meaning and its formal and poetical modes of communication.
Renée Green lives and works in the United States. Green is a professor at the Art, Culture and Technology program in the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT. Solo exhibitions of her work have been presented at the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts, Harvard University; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Maritime Museum, London, UK; Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne, Switzerland; Portikus, Frankfurt, Germany; Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona, Spain; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, USA; Vienna Secession; Stichting de Appel, Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Dallas Museum of Art, USA; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, USA; and Jeu de Paume, Paris, France, among many others. Her work has been presented at biennials and festivals including Documenta, the Whitney Biennial, and the Venice Biennale.
