Fountain II is a durational work for two performers. Two figures stand in an embrace on a white plinth over a pool of blood-red liquid. The performers' chests and hands appear to be hemorrhaging, continuously tracing rivulets down the surface of the body, the sides of the plinth, and into the pool below. While Fountain I (2022) was a poetic action to make visible what the artist describes as an evocation of the “final stages of heartbreak—when one finally turns one’s entire body inside out to reach a sort of ecstasy,” Fountain II will be its second act; a duet. The Fountain series is inspired by the painting actions of the late Viennese artist Hermann Nitsch.

His work consists of large-scale, sensorially immersive and site-specific environments revolving around the physical body in space. These installations are activated with often extreme durational performances that invoke the body as sculptural material. These performances are then captured in real-time before the audience to generate later video works and sculptures. Rigorous and ritualistic in its methodology, Greenberg’s universe relies on slowness and the decay of form to heighten the audience’s sensitivities. The work follows self-contained, nonlinear systems of logic that are best understood in relation to one another.At age seventeen, Greenberg left formal education, launching himself into four years of independent research on movement and architecture. He has worked under the mentorship of Édouard Lock, Robert Wilson, and Marina Abramović and has been an artist in residence at Fountainhead Arts, Miami (2023); La Manutention at Palais de Tokyo (2019), and The Watermill Center Residency, NY (2017 & 2018) among others. In 2023, Greenberg was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Art & Style Category.He has exhibited and performed internationally at museums and galleries, including The Louvre (Paris), Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin), The New Museum (New York), Arsenal Contemporary (Toronto), Jeffrey Deitch Gallery (New York), Galleria Continua (Les Moulins) and more. Greenberg’s work has also been included in numerous international art surveys, including the Athens Biennial, BoCA Lisbon, and the Bangkok Art Biennale.
