Dia presents a film installation by Renée Green, whose major solo exhibition The Equator Has Moved is on view at Dia Beacon through August 31, 2026.
This concise yet expansive presentation marks the New York premiere of Green’s Americas : Veritas (2018), which the artist created during her two-year residency at Harvard University’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For Dia Chelsea, Green has reconceived this single-channel film as a four-channel, enveloping installation with a pulsating techno soundtrack.
Shot in the United States and Argentina, Americas : Veritas places in dialogue Le Corbusier’s only built structures in the Americas: the Carpenter Center and Casa Curutchet in La Plata. By visually and conceptually collapsing the two locations, Green retraces the trajectories of Le Corbusier’s journeys across both continents, confronting the architect’s utopian longings with the realities he faced in those places while gesturing toward the equator, which has indeed moved.
The print Americas : Veritas Opacities (2023) functions as an interface with elsewhere—disparate sites, geographies, and points in time—and provides a window into Green’s associative thinking about this project via photographic images and book-cover reproductions.
To conclude this presentation, the artist joins curator and scholar Mason Leaver-Yap in conversation (https://diaart.org/program/calendar/a-conversation-with-renee-green-mason-leaver-yap-and-jordan-carter-dia-talks-09062025/period/2025-08-22), moderated by Dia curator and co–department head Jordan Carter, on Saturday, September 6, at Dia Chelsea.
