ABOUT

Luna Palazzolo-Daboul (b. 1991, Mar del Plata, Argentina) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Miami. A self-taught artist, Luna developed her artistic style through years of assisting artists and working in conservation, shaping her practice along the way.

Working primarily in sculpture and installation, Palazzolo’s practice also spans other mediums, including video performance, painting, and digital technology. She is drawn to industrial materials such as rebar and cement, creating labor-intensive works that also incorporate iterated and replicated objects carrying symbolic significance.

Influenced by the minimalist movements of the 1960s and 70s, South American folk culture, Beat Generation poets, and the philosophical works of Ernest Becker, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Mark Twain, Luna’s work explores themes of morality, identity, and the human condition. Her style could be described as iconoclastic, exposing some resistance and subtle irony as critiques of society.

Solo exhibitions include Closer (Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, 2023), UBI SUNT (Edge Zones Miami, FL, 2021). Selected group exhibitions at Hikarie Hall in Tokyo, Zilberman Gallery, Piero Atchugarry Gallery, and Primary Projects. Luna is also the recipient of a Wavemaker Grant funded by The Warhol Foundation, awards from the Broward Cultural Division, a Miami Individual Artist Grant, and the Oolite live-in Residency.

In addition to her artistic practice, Luna is the founder of Tunnel Projects, a project room in an underground plaza in Miami. Tunnel Projects fosters a supportive ecosystem for local artists, providing exhibition opportunities, collaborations, affordable studios, and a range of programming including workshops, critiques, and community initiatives.
