Simon Lamunière

Simon Lamunière (born 1961 in Geneva) is a Swiss contemporary artist, art curator and advisor.

Located on the largest public square of Geneva, this site-specific art project invited Swiss and international artists to create luminous artworks and neon signs for building roofs in the same way as advertising signs are placed on the Geneva lakeside.

Lamunière is known for expanding usual exhibition contexts and developing large scale projects.

He has for example co-curated site-specific or public art exhibitions in particular locations such as a cemetery for Open End.

35 shelters and pavilions were shown by Swiss and international participants among which Andrea Zittel, Atelier Van Lieshout, Carla Juaçaba, Didier Faustino, Frida Escobedo, Ken Isaacs, Kerim Seiler, Lang/Baumann, Matti Suuronen's Futuro, Rahbaran Hürzeler Architects.
