His work consists of&nbsp; large-scale, sensorially immersive and site-specific environments revolving around the physical body in&nbsp;space. These installations are activated with often extreme durational performances that invoke the&nbsp;body as sculptural material, with the goal of making visible the poetics of the human form; particularly&nbsp;through the lens of the African diaspora.&nbsp;At age seventeen, Greenberg left formal education, launching himself into four years of independent&nbsp; research on movement and architecture. He has worked under the mentorship of \u00c9douard Lock, Robert&nbsp; Wilson, and Marina Abramovi\u0107 and has been an artist in residence at Fountainhead Arts, Miami (2023);&nbsp; La Manutention at Palais de Tokyo (2019), and The Watermill Center Residency, NY (2017 &amp; 2018)&nbsp; among others. In 2023, Greenberg was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Art &amp; Style Category.&nbsp;He has exhibited and performed internationally at museums and galleries, including The Louvre (Paris),&nbsp; Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin), The New Museum (New York), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), Salon&nbsp; 94 (New York), Galleria Continua (Les Moulins) and more. Greenberg\u2019s work has also been included in&nbsp; numerous international art surveys, including the Venice Biennale, Athens Biennial, BoCA Lisbon, and&nbsp; the Bangkok Art Biennale.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"conductions-black-imaginings-ii-an-artist-talk-with-miles-greenberg","image":{"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-scaled.jpg","id":17767,"extension":"jpg","width":2560,"height":2048,"filesize":718220,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":700,"height":560,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":61294,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-700x560.jpg"},"large":{"width":1308,"height":1046,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":170988,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-1308x1046.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":270,"height":270,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":23596,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-270x270.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":614,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":69786,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-768x614.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1229,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":235337,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-1536x1229.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1639,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":427698,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-2048x1639.jpg"},"small":{"width":375,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":33739,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-375x500.jpg"},"medium-large":{"width":900,"height":720,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":89403,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-900x720.jpg"},"card":{"width":904,"height":565,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":72712,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-904x565.jpg"},"post":{"width":975,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":68513,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-975x500.jpg"},"hero":{"width":1894,"height":1080,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":259728,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs-1894x1080.jpg"}},"original_image":"01_Greenberg-Miles_Portrait-by-Eva-Roefs.jpg"},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-03-29 11:30:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"03","day":"29","hour":"11","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-03-29 12:45:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"03","day":"29","hour":"12","minutes":"45","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-03-29 18:30:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"03","day":"29","hour":"18","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-03-29 19:45:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"03","day":"29","hour":"19","minutes":"45","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Vancouver","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":290,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2023-03-28 10:28:29","date_utc":"2023-03-28 17:28:29","modified":"2024-03-07 10:38:06","modified_utc":"2024-03-07 18:38:06","url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/venue\/portland-art-museum\/","venue":"Portland Art Museum","description":"<p>The Museum is conveniently located on the historic Park Blocks in the center of downtown Portland, which is easy to get around by public transit or on foot.
