ARTIST 003 SEASON 7
Luna Palazzolo-Daboul
Luna Palazzolo-Daboul, born in Argentina, is a multidisciplinary artist based in Miami. Self-taught, Luna developed her artistic style through years of assisting artists, working in conservation, and shaping her practice along the way.
Working primarily in sculpture and installation, Luna’s practice includes video performance, painting, and digital technology. She is drawn to industrial materials such as rebar and cement, and creates labor-intensive works that incorporate iterated and replicated objects with 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.
Solo exhibitions include Closer (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, 2023) and UBI SUNT (Edge Zones Miami, FL, 2021), and select group exhibitions at Hikarie Hall in Tokyo, and Zilberman Gallery, Piero Atchugarry Gallery and Primary Projects in Miami. 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.Art 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 such as workshops, critiques, and community initiatives.
