Performance │Miles Greenberg│Twelve Academic Studies Événement / Performance
Time scale7h00
As part of the exhibition Kerry James Marshall: The Histories, artist and performer Miles Greenberg takes over the Matisse Room with Douze études académiques, a durational performance presented continuously throughout the day.
Drawing on the pictorial vocabulary that Kerry James Marshall has developed around the Black figure and its modes of representation, the performance explores what lies beyond the visible: the states, tensions, and forms of affect that circulate between bodies.
Some of the performers, who are also singers, will intermittently perform songs, recite texts, or offer prayers drawn from references and sources of inspiration in Kerry James Marshall’s practice.
