Lungomare is a platform for design and cultural production and carries out commissions and initiate artistic projects. In collaboration with clients, artists and other experts Lungomare develops strategies and concepts that focus on finding the appropriate form for the content to be conveyed. The work encompasses communication and exhibition design, spatial concepts and curatorial projects. Operating in a variety of different spaces—public and private, virtual and print, urban and curated—Lungomare creates meeting places and experiential spaces in the urban context and invites artists to develop thematic and site-specific projects.
In each of these spaces, whether physical, virtual or conceptual, Lungomare creates the potential for exchange and discussion, always putting socio-political issues front and centre. The team combines knowledge from art and design in theory and practice. The working processes involve dialogue with artists, scientists and experts from all walks of life; this allows Lungomare to explore new perspectives and collectively negotiate the spaces which are thought and designed. This approach is also linked to the interdisciplinary European project B-Shapes and creates the possibility of an alternative perception of borders through cultural and artistic production.
