Renée Green: The Equator Has Moved / Dia Beacon

Renée Green: The Equator Has Moved is the multidisciplinary artist’s first major New York museum solo exhibition. Since the late 1980s, Green has made densely layered, research-driven work that draws on Minimal and Conceptual strategies of the 1960s and 1970s. She combines archival and literary fragments, found and personal materials, speculative narratives, and earlier works of her own to examine shifting lines between fact and fiction, public history and private memory.

Installed across Dia Beacon’s two central galleries and connecting corridor, the exhibition mixes historical, reconfigured, and newly commissioned pieces without a linear chronology. It places Green’s practice in dialogue with artists important to Dia’s history and to her own development. Multimedia installations that rethink site, landscape, and Land art return to U.S. view for the first time in more than thirty years. The complete early-1990s Color series considers color as a system of classification, a socially coded value, and a spatial and poetic tool. New text-based Space Poems hang as banners along the corridor, with related enamel wall works. Modular Bichos—geometric units for looking and listening—present selections from Green’s moving-image and sound archive.
