{"product_id":"renee-green-pacing","title":"Renée Green: Pacing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegacies of modernism reappraised and reconstructed in an epic project by Ren e Green\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican artist Ren e Green (born 1959) spent two years engaged with the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University, during which she presented a series of interlinked public programs and exhibitions, culminated with her major exhibition \u003ci\u003eWithin Living Memory\u003c\/i\u003e (2018). Green's Carpenter project, \u003ci\u003ePacing\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis handsome publication illuminates Green's unfolding process, with a sequence of exhibitions that took place from 2015 and culminating in \u003ci\u003ePacing: Facing\u003c\/i\u003e in Toronto; \u003ci\u003eTracing\u003c\/i\u003e in Como, Italy; \u003ci\u003ePlacing\u003c\/i\u003e in Berlin; \u003ci\u003eSpacing\u003c\/i\u003e in Lisbon; and \u003ci\u003eBegin Again, Begin Again\u003c\/i\u003e in Los Angeles. The result is a meditation on creative processes across histories and media, partially inspired by two architectural icons: Rudolf M. Schindler and Le Corbusier. Despite grand ambitions, Le Corbusier was only able to realize two buildings in the Americas, the Carpenter Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Casa Curuchet, in La Plata, Argentina. In \u003ci\u003ePacing\u003c\/i\u003e, dreams, projections and geographically distant buildings are put into dialogue through time, weaving a layered constellation of unexpected relations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLavishly illustrated, \u003ci\u003eRen e Green: Pacing\u003c\/i\u003e features new texts by Gloria Sutton and Fred Moten, and brings together a series of previously unpublished conversations between the artist and Yvonne Rainer, Nora M. Alter and Mason Leaver-Yap. Additional contributions are provided by Nicholas Korody, William S. Smith and Carpenter Center director Dan Byers.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50379777048850,"sku":"9781735230504","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_0808629f-3d62-41d3-919c-f0093508b518.jpg?v=1728668066","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/renee-green-pacing","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
