Secession - Renee Green
Rare BookRenée Green is one of the most vital and consistently innovative voices in contemporary art.
Her work—spanning film, installation, architecture, writing, and sound—investigates the structures through which knowledge, memory, and cultural meaning are produced and circulated. Weaving together public and private narratives across time and geography, Green’s practice questions how we navigate the spaces between what is known, imagined, and remembered.
Rather than translating sociopolitical content into art, Green brings together different models of thought and exposes the tensions between them. With irony, clarity, and conceptual precision, she challenges seemingly transparent meanings and invites new ways of seeing and understanding.
Between and Including brings together a key body of work produced between 1996 and 1999, rooted in an exhibition at the Secession in Vienna. There, the space was transformed into a labyrinth—a metaphor for the layered complexity of Green’s thinking. This publication presents these interrelated works in dialogue for the first time, offering a rich reflection on disorientation, memory, and the spaces in between.
