Luna Nera is a London-based group concerned with creating site-responsive mixed media work. They use installation, video, photography, live art, sculpture and sound.
"Our projects feed public curiosity about forgotten spaces, and at the same time expose art in ways that are completely different to the accepted demarcation for art-consumption."
Luna Nera aims to stimulate interest in the environmental and architectural heritage of localities. By asking the audience to re-look at sites in a new way, Luna Nera addresses a series of issues around ideas of society, community, history, memory and public space. Our mission is to reclaim disused or abandoned "forgotten" spaces through art. The work is created and presented in direct response to the environment, transcribing histories, memories, textures and functions into art.
Biography: In addition to working in London, Luna Nera has recently been working abroad. In 2000 Luna Nera was invited to Russia to work with Dirigible create a large-scale site-responsive project, which was subsequently shown at Moscow Art Fair 2001. In September 2002 we worked in Berlin in a disused factory site for "Helden der Arbeit? Festival of Art in Old Factories" and created live art in the Kunstfabrik. In November 2002 we were invited to Weimar where we worked on collaborative projects for the BackUp Media Art in Film festival, in the e-Werk strassenbahn depot.
In February 2003 Luna Nera went to Zurich to take part in the DAdA Festival, where they created live art installations with performance in an old paper factory. Later in 2003 we will realise projects in St Petersburg for the tricentennial, on July 27, 2003. We will also collaborate with Creatmosphere to present the first Faites des Lumieres in London in October 2003, and make site-specific show in the former Midland Grand hotel in St Pancras, London in November.
