Miles Greenberg's Mythic Combat for Future Generations

Art that taps into our primal, untamed essence, ensuring we never lose touch with the wild.

Across three screens at his solo show in Stowe, Vermont, Miles Greenberg’s ‘TЯUTH’ reenacts a vivid, unspoken ritual. Warriors clad in black oil and briefs engage in choreographed combat, their movements as fluid and deliberate as those of experienced fencers.


In an adjacent gallery, the six-channel video 'LE MIROIR' shifts focus to a surreal love story that blends myth with modernity. Here, performers stand on mirrored plinths, embodying both ancient wisdom and queer defiance in a desert setting, watched by local fauna.


Greenberg’s work rehearses myths for the future, making Black people central characters in universal stories. These performances capture our primal spirit, reminding us of our incalculable wildness despite societal constraints.


The artist uses meticulous rehearsal to transform these scenes into visual spectacles that are both dangerous and safe, inviting viewers to explore themes of danger, love, and transformation through his artistry.


These videos are more than just performances; they are a testament to the enduring human spirit, preserved in symbolic acts across time and space. Greenberg’s vision ensures that our untamed essence continues to thrive, even as we navigate the complexities of modern life.
