Renée Green's First Major New York Museum Solo Show Opens at Dia Beacon

Renée Green: The Equator Has Moved represents the artist's inaugural significant solo exhibition at a New York museum, set to launch at Dia Beacon on September 14, 2026. Green has been creating intricate, research-focused artworks since the late 1980s, influenced by the Minimal and Conceptual movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Her work intertwines archival documents, literary excerpts, personal and found materials, and speculative stories to explore the blurred boundaries between reality and imagination, as well as collective history and individual memory. The exhibition spans Dia Beacon's two main galleries and a connecting corridor, showcasing a mix of historical, reimagined, and newly created works. It engages with artists significant to both Dia's legacy and Green's artistic journey. Returning to U.S. audiences after over thirty years, multimedia installations challenge perceptions of site, landscape, and Land art. The complete early-1990s Color series examines color as a classification system and a socially imbued value. Additionally, new text-based Space Poems are displayed as banners in the corridor alongside related enamel wall pieces, while Modular Bichos—geometric forms for observation and sound—feature selections from Green's audiovisual archive.
