Camino Road by Renée Green
A collection of works by American artist/filmmaker/writer Renée Green.
This is the first reprint of Greene's 1994 debut, Camino Road. Following the protagonist, Lynn's journey through Mexico and back to art school in 1980s New York, the narrative weaves together moments between drives, dreams, and consciousness. And like Green's multi-media installations encompassing sound, space, and visuals, the work is richly layered with intellectual genealogy, fictional personal memory, and cultural criticism.
Green describes the book as "a conscious homage or parody of 'road novels,' 'Bohemia,' and artist rebels." , about the mythological construction of the artist's character as a rebel," and, "These 'beat' sources served as a quintessentially American introduction to the concept of bohemia and the artist. It seems," he explained.
Originally produced as part of a group exhibition "Cocido y crudo/The Cooked and the Raw" held at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the text is in English and Spanish. Written in both, it is accompanied by photographs and ephemera that trace the counterculture movement “La Movida Madrileña” in Spain in the 1980s.
