Lungomare is a platform for design and cultural production.

We carry out commissions and initiate artistic projects. In collaboration with clients, artists and other experts we develop strategies and concepts that focus on finding the appropriate form for the content to be conveyed.

Our work encompasses communication, exhibition design, spatial concepts and curatorial projects. We create meeting places and experiential spaces in the urban context and we invite artists to work with us to develop thematic and site specific projects.

Lungomare operates in a variety of different spaces: public and private, virtual and print, urban and curated.

The Lungomare cooperative combines culture and design.

Emerging from the design studio Lupo Burtscher and the cultural association Lungomare, the newly founded cooperative brings together these two practices and their related fields of work and experience.

So Lungomare will continue to embody the transdisciplinary approach that we have been pursuing for almost twenty years now.

Limitis.

Karin Schmuck studies the border as a space expanded by photography as a place of possibility and thought – a space in which one can ponder and reflect and call oneself into question. In this practice of walking and observing and shooting, Limitis. appears as a physical discourse on the local area and the concept of identity and belonging.

Through the Prism of Borders
Through the Prism of Borders brings together artistic and academic voices to explore borderlands as dynamic and relational spaces shaped by history, landscape and human experience. Through interviews, essays and literary texts, the publication presents border walks, embedded research and artistic interventions inviting the reader to engage with the complexity of borderlands and how to reimagine them. At a time when borders are being reinforced and redrawn, this publication offers a multi-voiced reflection on how we connect across and beyond them.
