Miles Greenberg is a performance artist and sculptor whose work uses the physical body as sculptural material. He creates large-scale, sensorially immersive, and site-specific environments, activated by rigorous, durational performances. These performances aim to make visible the poetics of the human form, particularly through the lens of the African diaspora. His ritualistic methodology relies on slowness and the decay of form to heighten audience sensitivities, creating a space for both performer and viewer to navigate and honor emotions that resonate in the body. The live performances are captured to generate later video works and sculptures.
At 17, Greenberg left formal education for four years of independent research on movement and architecture, working under the mentorship of Édouard Lock, Robert Wilson, and Marina Abramović. He has held residencies at institutions including Fountainhead Arts and The Watermill Center. His work has been exhibited and performed internationally at museums and galleries such as The Louvre, the New Museum, Neue Nationalgalerie, and the Art Gallery of Ontario. He has also been featured in international art surveys like the Venice Biennale and Athens Biennial.
