Currently based between New York and Paris, Canadian-born Miles Greenberg (b. 1997) is an installation artist, performance director and curator. His work centres around notions of identity, displacement and trauma through varied explorations of the black and queer body in space.
Upon leaving school at age seventeen, Greenberg projected himself into a two year-long independent research project on movement theory and architecture that took place between Paris, New York, Haiti and Beijing in the ultimate goal of developing his own method. Meanwhile, he simultaneously pursued a largely self-driven education in linguistics, butoh, the physical theatre (at Paris’ École Jacques Lecoq) and perfumery..
His form consists of a highly theorized approach at the threshold of performance, sculpture, and new media. The work draws on techniques from various religious rites and rituals, butoh, ballroom culture, new technologies and hypnosis. It follows self-contained, non-linear systems of logic that are best understood in relation to one another.
