The artist as a flaneur in the late 20th century.
For the 7th Museum Renée Green compiled a catalogue of impressions, collected
in The Hague: photo's and video stills of the museum-site, shopping area
and the street market of a multicultural living-site. But also fragments of talks with people in the
street, quotations of writers who wrote about the colonial past with which The Hague
as an governmental city of an old colonial power, are essentials in the book. And some
philosophical notes and quotes on site-specificity.
It became a 'book the passage' in the shade of Walter Benjamin's Passage project.
The book was presented in a local book shop all together with the video tape
on which was recorded an interview with the housekeeper of the First Chamber/art collector
sir Van Bokhoven and impressions of a local street market.
This 'After a Ten Thousands Things' project was accompanied by
an (artist)page in the door-to-door paper 'De Posthoorn', a shop window poster
and a postcard.
Renée Green (1959) lives and works in New York, USA.
