Born in Canada, Miles Greenberg has established an international practice based between New York City and Reykjavík. His work is defined by a rigorous approach to durational performance, often involving extended periods of physical stillness or endurance within meticulously constructed, immersive environments.
Greenberg’s practice centers on the body as a primary medium, frequently reinterpreting classical myths to examine contemporary identity. His installations often incorporate sculptural elements that interact with his live performance, creating a dialogue between the static object and the living subject.
His work has been presented at major global institutions including the Louvre, the New Museum, and the Neue Nationalgalerie. Recent recognition includes a collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, where he is set to premiere a new durational performance titled Flaying of Marsyas in late 2025.
