FLORIDA ROOM IV | LUNA PALAZZOLO-DABOUL Luna Palazzolo-Daboul (b. 1991, Mar del Plata, Argentina) Self-taught through assisting artists and conservation work, she creates labor-intensive pieces using industrial materials, such as rebar and cement, with symbolically replicated objects. Influenced by 1960s-70s minimalism, South American folk culture, Beat Generation poetry, and the works of philosophers such as Ernest Becker and Mary Wollstonecraft, her iconoclastic work explores morality, identity, and faith through subtle social critique. The chairs in the exhibition, serve as memorials to Gertrude Stein’s reflections on privilege, embodying her paradoxical quote, “I like a view, but I like to sit with my back turned to it”—a preference for conceptual engagement over direct experience. The work adopts the aesthetic posture of the icon while challenging traditional hierarchies by placing elevated objects in dialogue with equals. #LunaPalazzoloDaboul lunapalazzolo #gertrudestein 🫶🏽 ...
