Thursday, February 18 from 7:30–9PM, @ccva_harvard presents a live Zoom conversation between artist Renée Green and art historian Gloria Sutton to celebrate the publication of 'Renée Green: Pacing.'⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Registere via linkinbio!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Over the course of two years as artist-in-residence at the Carpenter Center, Green produced a series of site-specific interventions, exhibitions, and public programs that culminated in the exhibition Within Living Memory (Feb 1–Apr 15, 2018). Renée Green: Pacing is the book that grew out of this multiyear project.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Renée Green: Pacing is a meditation spurred by inhabiting an architectural icon—Le Corbusier's Carpenter Center—while exploring the historical and institutional legacies of modernism's other forms, including cinema, visual art, poetry, music, and literature. Included in the book are reflections on a sequence of exhibitions that preceded Pacing. These include Facing in Toronto; Tracing in Como, Italy; Placing in Berlin; Spacing in Lisbon; and Begin Again, Begin Again in Los Angeles. Green will be joined in conversation by Gloria Sutton, catalogue contributor and the Carpenter Center Scholar-in-Residence over the course of Green’s Pacing residency.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Please note this virtual event requires pre-registration via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Please contact [email protected] with any questions ahead of this event.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #reneegreen #gloriasutton #pacing ⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZfyjjpLDy/?igshid=11ad9mc9i101l

Renee Green and Roberto Lugo employ traditional European forms of decoration to add the stories of African Americans to to the canon, elevating their works to high art in the act. Brilliant of Green to interrupt the fairy tale scenes of toile with pictures of the brutal torture of the slaves used to pick the very cotton the scenes are printed on. Lugo’s works are gentler on white privilege but accomplish a lot by leaving no medium left out of a much needed balancing of representation. #artbasel #wexlergallery #robertolugo #reneegreen #fabricworkshopandmuseum Renee Green’s work can be seen now through April 18th at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. Roberto Lugo can be found in the Wexler Gallery, Philadelphia. Green’s work is Mise en Scene, 1992 and Lugo’s is Big Pun and I, 2015. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHj6gCDqmH/?igshid=1dv3bdiko8r6f
