Performance │Miles Greenberg│Twelve Academic Studies Événement / Performance

Time scale 7h00

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.

From September 18, 2026, to January 24, 2027, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris presents The Histories, the first retrospective devoted to the American artist Kerry James Marshall in France. On this occasion, a series of four conferences offers an exploration of his work from a transatlantic and interdisciplinary perspective, addressing different aspects of his artistic practice.

Throughout the exhibition, the conferences will bring together artists, historians, curators, and exhibition curators specializing in European and American art, American Studies, as well as the histories and cultures of the African diaspora.

This series of conferences is part of the museum’s cultural program, which seeks to highlight contemporary artistic creation, societal debates, and artistic representations that have often remained on the margins of Western art history.
