Renée Green. Ongoing Becomings: The Whole Is Simpler Than the Parts

Renée Green is an artist, filmmaker, writer, and producer. Through Free Agent Media, her moniker since 1994, she has produced videos, films, writings, installations, digital media, architecture, sound-related works, film series, and events that engage and analyze circuits of exchange over time, exploring what can now be made, thought, and felt within a changing transcultural sphere. Solo-exhibition venues include the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich (UK), Portikus in Frankfurt (Germany), Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona, Secession in Vienna, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. A retrospective, Ongoing Becomings 1989–2009, was recently exhibited at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne (Switzerland). The exhibition Endless Dreams and Time-Based Streams opens in February 2010 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Green is Dean of Graduate Studies at SFAI and a guest faculty member at the Whitney Independent Study Program and at Maumaus in Lisbon.
