Location: The Current, Stowe, Vermont
The Current is pleased to present a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Miles Greenberg, on view June 20–October 17, 2026. Marking Greenberg’s Vermont debut and first presentation with The Current, the exhibition features the immersive video installations LE MIROIR and TЯUTH, which transform the gallery into an environment that envelops viewers in Greenberg’s durational performances. A highlight of the exhibition is LE MIROIR, presented for the first time in the United States.
Movement, endurance, and emotional transformation are at the root of Greenberg's practice. Working across video, performance, and sculpture, he creates large-scale, sensorially immersive environments in which the physical body becomes sculptural material. Although many of his works begin as durational performances, the resulting films are conceived as artworks in their own right rather than mere documentation. Through editing, scale, and installation, Greenberg transforms live actions into immersive video experiences that explore slowness, repetition, and the limits of physical and emotional endurance. Rigorous and ritualistic in methodology, his work heightens viewers' sensitivity to time, presence, and transformation.
LE MIROIR
LE MIROIR is a six-channel video installation arranged on six large monitors, displayed in a circle, enveloping the viewer within the performance space rather than presenting it frontally. Originally commissioned by ICD Brookfield Place Arts, the work was first staged live during the 2025 edition of 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair at Marrakech's historic El Badi Palace, with curatorial direction by Touria El Glaoui, and then presented as a multi-channel video installation at ICD Brookfield Place Arts in Dubai. Its presentation at The Current is its first in the United States.
Inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's 1975 film The Mirror, LE MIROIR is a surreal queer love story inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, shot between the live performance in Marrakech at El Badii Palace and the Emirati Desert on the border of Oman. The resulting work is Greenberg's most ambitious video piece to date.
LE MIROIR was created, directed, and performed by Miles Greenberg, with performances by Jean Paul Paula, and a soundtrack by Personal JJesus. Studio management by Yell Freeman.
TЯUTH
TЯUTH is a three-channel video installation by Miles Greenberg, commissioned by Stedelijk Bureau in 2024 and curated by Rita Ouédraogo. The work was filmed during Greenberg's seven-hour durational performance TЯUTH (2023), originally staged at Powerhouse Arts in Brooklyn, New York.
First presented as a video immersive installation, audiences were invited to wear rubber boots and move through a 15-centimeter-deep reflecting pool, physically altering the reflected image through their own movement and dissolving the boundary between spectatorship and participation.
In the original performance, eight performers, their bodies coated in black oil and each carrying a sword, engaged in improvised paired encounters within a large vermillion wading pool. The arena became a site where combat transformed into choreography and physical endurance into image.
Drawing unexpected inspiration from the visual grammar of fighting video games, Greenberg edited the performance into a 15-minute film that echoes the surreal cinematic cutaways and heightened emotional states of the games that shaped his early visual imagination. Curated by Eric Shiner, the original performance continues Greenberg's ongoing exploration of the body as both subject and material—pushed to physical extremes, rendered monumental, and transformed through duration, repetition, and collective action.
