Renée Green
«Partially Buried in Three Parts»
«Intermingling private and public recollections, since the early 1990s Renée Green has been exploring the archival capacities of the media film and video to retain access to memory and history. Green’s homely video installations reintroduce what is buried in popular memory into the realm of the personal and the domestic, making history tangible. [...] ‹Partially Burried in Three Parts› (1996–1999) weaves together several strands of remembrance such as the ruins of Robert Smithson’s ‹Partially buried Woodshed› and the killing of students by National Guards at Kent State University, with Green’s experiential accounts of her mother’s teaching job there in 1970. Issues of translation are addressed in Green’s work against the backdrop of an overall idea of entropy, as a matrix of ideas moving across boundaries.»
