Luna Nera

Who is Luna Nera?

Luna Nera is a collaborative group of international artists who make site-specific artworks. Members of Luna Nera have exhibited in a number of venues ranging from disused buildings to Tate Britain. The organisation was founded in 1997 to create works in response to significant urban sites which have fallen into dereliction. Some places that Luna Nera have worked in include:

The huge former Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras Station, London designed in the Gothic style by Sir George Gilbert Scott and built in 1868-72. The former Drawing Offices of Harland and Wolff, Belfast, once the largest shipyard in the world, where the RMS Titanic was designed and built. Buildings formerly belonging to the Russian Navy, on Kronstadt naval base, Saint Petersburg Russia. The Old Colosseum Theatre in Dalston, east London. This now-derelict structure was a circus space and music hall and one of the first cinemas in London. A late 19th century factory complex in Obershoeneweide East Berlin, in the vast former industrial area built by Peter Behrens for AEG. The whole district fell into economic ruin after 1989.
