The first comprehensive US monograph on American artist Renée Green, The Equator Has Moved provides a foundational introduction to the artist’s practice and addresses critical gaps in existing scholarship. In her uniquely recursive process, Green juxtaposes a range of materials—archival, documentary and literary fragments, personal and found ephemera, speculative narratives and her own extant work—to probe the unstable boundaries between fact and fiction, public recollection and personal memory. Essays situate Green within key historical influences and periods, including lineages of Conceptual art and institutional critique; examine Green’s significant contributions to artistic milieus and discourses of the 1990s; and investigate various formal aspects of the work. Made in close collaboration with the artist, the book features a rich suite of installation shots from her Dia Beacon show.
