Phoebe Berglund was born in Newport, Oregon, United States.
Phoebe received her Master of Fine Arts degree in Combined Media from Hunter College in 2013. She also attended Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.
During her career, Phoebe performed in a number of spaces and museums, including MoMA PS1, where she collaborated with Hannah Levy in the show "Night at the Museum: Past Skin", a series of performances, immersive installations and soundscapes.
She also presented her work at Movement Research at Judson Church, Brooklyn Public Library, New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA), NADA Miami, Material Art Fair, Mexico City, Unisex Salon Gallery, 106 Green Gallery and Hunter College’s Times Square Gallery.
In addition, Berglund was as an artist-in-residence at Hunter College, MoMA PS1, Shandaken: Storm King Art Center, Lighthouse Works and Boghossian Foundation, Brussels, Belgium.
Currently, she lives and works in New York City.
Phoebe's work combines dance with installation and constructs dance spaces, incorporating ceramics as "documents" and arranging them in ways, that reflect various disciplines, including the dancer's stage, the librarian's organization and the archeologist's arrangement of artifacts and relics. The artist refers to the body as a technological tool, an instrument, that notates the dance. It is important for Berglund to make a body operate between music, made with contemporary machines, and clay tablets, the oldest material used for writing.
