Join us for the final artist performance in\u00a0Conductions: Black Imaginings II,<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>a seven-hour endurance work by Miles Greenberg titled\u00a0Landscape with Figures<\/em>. Centralizing the body as sculptural material, this piece invites visitors to reflect on decay, change and living movement present in both land and body through duration and stillness.\u00a0This iteration of\u00a0Landscape with Figures<\/em>\u00a0is performed by Mykel Illa and\u00a0AfreakanO.

Please note that this performance includes partial nudity.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miles Greenberg<\/strong> (b. 1997 in Montreal, Canada) is a performance artist and sculptor. His work consists of  large-scale, sensorially immersive and site-specific environments revolving around the physical body in space. These installations are activated with often extreme durational performances that invoke the body as sculptural material, with the goal of making visible the poetics of the human form; particularly through the lens of the African diaspora. At age seventeen, Greenberg left formal education, launching himself into four years of independent  research on movement and architecture. He has worked under the mentorship of \u00c9douard Lock, Robert  Wilson, and Marina Abramovi\u0107 and has been an artist in residence at Fountainhead Arts, Miami (2023);  La Manutention at Palais de Tokyo (2019), and The Watermill Center Residency, NY (2017 & 2018)  among others. In 2023, Greenberg was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Art & Style Category. He has exhibited and performed internationally at museums and galleries, including The Louvre (Paris),  Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin), The New Museum (New York), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), Salon  94 (New York), Galleria Continua (Les Moulins) and more. Greenberg\u2019s work has also been included in  numerous international art surveys, including the Venice Biennale, Athens Biennial, BoCA Lisbon, and  the Bangkok Art Biennale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
