𝑺𝑬𝑩𝑨𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑨𝑵, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒. Curated by Klaus Biesenbach and Lisa Botti on the occasion of the 60th Biennale Arte. 8 hour duration. Palazzo Malipiero, Venezia. Five arrows pierced through my skin as i stand on a stone from Lido, rotating at 1 RPM while being caressed by four robot-mounted cameras, capturing my body in slow motion in video and 3D scans. Sugar syrup drips from the ceiling, melting my makeup and accumulating, gradually impairing movement. After eight hours, my mother comes and removes the arrows from my body. In an adjacent room, a ‘stolen’ relic — a 3D printed scale replica of one of Andrea Brustolon’s most (in)famous blackamoor ebony carvings, 3D scanned and reproduced without permission from Ca’ Rezzonico museum, across the grand canal.

LATE OCTOBER, 2020 [ duration : approx. 7hrs ] « The Black body as infrastructure for the divine, the Black body as a vessel, the Black body as a generative and re-generative terrain, in Permanent Readiness for the Marvellous; the Black body as the liminal; the Black body as the cusp of the cup that runneth over – the threshold is a means of survival. » 𝕿𝖍𝖆𝖓𝕶 𝖄𝖔𝖚 from the bottom of my heart to everyone who participated in the creation of this piece. 🏺🕳⛓ Concept & direction by me Performed by : @pauladoory @edentintocollins @muteki_no_rena @iamsnakeninja @jamsy360 @flyestshot & myself Scenography & production : @botanical_agency Casting : @hybra Stage mgmt : @kindle_jenner MUA : @cecileparavina Curated by : @latotale.collective @leortajunior @i.perrault @simonsixou Presented at : @galleriacontinua Cinematography : @adrien_bertolle Image prod. : Thomas Duchene PR : @hannahgottliebgraham (Images : Adrien Bertolle & Rachel Halickman)

Was Miles Greenberg a “cool teen”? Tune to find out, plus exclusive ASMR sword unboxing footage. Miles Greenberg (@miles.greenberg ), one of the issue 49 cover stars, gears up for his latest performance, RESPAWN, at the Art Gallery of Ontario (@agotoronto ). Join Jordan Coley (@ejordan.web , host of the Jordan Show (@jordan_______show ), as they step into Greenberg’s studio for a quick duel… Directed by Sam Leviton (@samleviton ) Produced by Gwyneth Giller (@gwyn3333th )

In conversation: Miles Greenberg & Hans Ulrich Obrist for the opening of “𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘳,” works by Miles Greenberg & Douglas Gordon at Albion Jeune.

For @miles.greenberg ’s latest work, Respawn, he wrestles and stabs versions of himself in front of a live audience for nine hours straight. He sat down with @tomjoepower to shed light on the piece and his journey in art. Listen to the full interview on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. 🎧Link in bio.

“I’m actually the reason that there’s now a rule at the Louvre that you’re not allowed to stab yourself.” Canadian artist @miles.greenberg says flesh is his medium and he’s no stranger to pushing his body to the extreme for his art, whether it be standing on a plinth dripping in fake blood, embracing a stranger while naked and blind, and walking on a conveyor belt all day.

“I’ve always been interested in the physical sensations in the body that last a very short time, that our bodies only allow us to feel for 30 seconds, maybe 10 minutes: a panic attack, ecstasy, very, very intense pain... There’s a certain poetry beyond extreme pain or pleasure and I try to create works that, in my aesthetic and sensual world, somehow manage functionally to cross this barrier where I feel there’s something the body doesn’t want us to know.”   In this new video interview, Miles Greenberg guides us through his process, with curator Olivia Anani. The solo exhibition TRUTH is on view until May 16th at Galerie Mitterrand.    Video by @hellophantomprod  © Galerie Mitterrand #GalerieMitterrand #MilesGreenberg #OliviaAnani #TRUTH  #ParisGalleryMap
