Miles Greenberg (b. 1997 in Montreal, Canada) is a performance artist and researcher of corporal movement based between New York and Paris.
His practice centres around a romanticized exploration of the Black body in space through durational performance, sculptural forms and gestures. His work consists of large-scale sensorially-immersive environments which revolve around the physical body.
At age seventeen, Greenberg left formal education to invest himself in a four-year independent research project around movement and architecture as they relate to the Black body. This spanned a number of solo artistic/research including Ecole Jacques Lecoq and Musée du Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Red Gate Gallery Beijing and Long Island’s Watermill Center. He has a largely self-acquired background in linguistics, perfumery, butoh and physical theatre, and has studied under the direction of various mentors such as Edouard Lock, Robert Wilson and Marina Abramović.
Greenberg's form is the result of rigorous methodology which resides at the threshold of performance and sculpture. The work follows self-contained, non-linear systems of logic which are best understood in relation to one another.
