LUNA NERA IN BELFAST

Luna Nera participated n the exhibition series "Urban Clearance" curated by Peter Mutschler at the Gallery PS2 Project Space, Belfast.

"Rediscovering the city as urban playground and dispelling the anomie of urban life is one of the tasks and responsibilities of the contemporary urban artist, to involve and invoke the relationship between the citizens and their city. This is particularly important when the urban landscape has been scarred and rendered unusable as genuinely public space."

“… in the urban playground “

Luna Nera chose the Drawing Offices (left) of the former Harland & Wolff Headquarters as the focal point for their artistic exploration. Luna Nera created site-responsive installations, live art and video-projection in the Drawing Offices. In this once world leading creative powerhouse for the design of ships (including the Titanic) in Belfast, the project analyses its dormant potential and the relationship between the remains of the area, its buildings and waterfront, with the grand structures and remarkable landscape overlooking the city.

The multi-media documentation of the event and new art works responding to the experience of the building, were exhibited at PS2, Donegall Street.
