Overview
Miles Greenberg (b. 1997, Montreal) is a New York-based performance artist and sculptor. His work consists of large-scale, sensorially immersive and often site-specific environments revolving around the physical body in space. These installations are activated with often extreme durational performances that invoke the body as sculptural material. These performances are then captured in real time before the audience to generate later video works and sculptures. Rigorous and ritualistic in its methodology, Greenberg’s universe relies on slowness and the decay of form to heighten the audience’s sensitivities. The work follows self-contained, non-linear systems of logic that are best understood in relation to one another.At age seventeen, Greenberg left formal education, launching himself into four years of independent research on movement and architecture, which spanned a number of residencies in Paris, northern Italy, Beijing and New York. He has worked under the mentorship of Édouard Lock, Robert Wilson and Marina Abramović, and has since exhibited extensively internationally.He has exhibited and performed internationally at museums and galleries, including The Southbank Centre, London (2023); The Louvre, Paris (2023); Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin (2022); The New Museum, New York, NY (2023); Arsenal Contemporary, Toronto (2021); Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, New York, NY (2021); Galleria Continua, Les Moulins (2021); amongst others. Greenberg’s work has been included in numerous international art surveys, including the Athens Biennial, Athens (2021); BoCA, Lisbon (2021); and the Bangkok Art Biennale (2021). He recently has had a solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Buro, Amsterdam (February 2024); participated in the 8th Annual Yokohama Triennale (March 2024); and performed at the Accademia Museum, Venice (April 2024), curated by Klaus Biesenbach.Greenberg has been an artist in residence at Fountainhead Arts, Miami, FL (2023); La Manutention at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2019); and The Watermill Center Residency, New York, NY (2017 & 2018); amongst others. Greenberg was featured on 30 Under 30 in the Art & Style Category of Forbes Magazine (2023). -
