February 20 - June 20, 2010

“Renée Green: Endless Dreams and Time-Based Streams” is on view at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco from February 20 - June 20, 2010. The exhibition was curated by Betti-Sue Hertz, Director of Visual Art at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts with Julio Cesar Morales, the Adjunct Curator of Visual Art.

For more than 20 years, Green has been creating works of art that critically assess the intersection of ideas, processes and creativities around a range of topics including cultural history, transnational travel, feminism, and biography. While widely acclaimed internationally, Green’s work has rarely been exhibited in the United States in its full magnitude.

The exhibition brings together two projects, United Space of Conditioned Becoming, a survey that features videos, objects, events and lectures produced over a 15-year span, and her most recent multi-media project, Endless Dreams and the Water Between, first seen at The Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. In addition, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is also commissioning unrealized components of Endless Dreams and the Water Between, which include short films, drawings, banners, a window installation at street level, and an experimental publication in the form of a compendium including texts by scholars, artists and theorists.
