In the pieces collected in the volume, Green oscillates between the poles of academic and literary ambition, combining the poetic with the analytic, the diaristic with the theoretical, the autobiographical with the systematic, the tentative with the polemical. . . . \u003ci\u003eOther Planes of There\u003c\/i\u003e offers both a critical genealogy of and a reflexive corrective to our present art-historical and political moment.” -- André Rottmann * Artforum *\u003cbr\u003e“Anticipating the artist’s expanded function—the various ‘turns’ of the 2000s—Green wears many hats, acting at once as a curator, archivist, events organizer, and independent distributor (a role she calls ‘free media agent’). . . . An important resource for those seeking to understand what has happened in progressive art discourse for the past twenty years. \u003ci\u003eOther Planes of There\u003c\/i\u003e also offers a model for how artists might situate their work through a critical, process-intensive writing practice.” -- Thom Donovan * BOMB *\u003cbr\u003e“The book is evidence of what remains an ongoing process, which continues to grow in the minds of those that read it or come to encounter Green’s work. Rooted within the fabric of every text is Green’s voice, which remains one of questioning the world, through a continual prodding and reexamination of methods of understanding, transmission, and communication.”  -- Maia Nichols * Full Stop *\u003cbr\u003e“Complete with an extensive Publishing History, Curriculum Vitae and Index that indicate clearly the rich scope of this anthology, this certainly is a beautiful example of what thinking through and with work can lead to.” -- Edith Doove * Leonardo Reviews *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments        xi   Introductory Essays          Other Planes, Different Phases, My Geometry, Times, Movements: Becomings Ongoings        1   Remarks on the Writings of Renee Green, by Gloria Sutton        19   Genealogies          1.
