CAROLINE
RUNGGER
CULTURAL MANAGER
ART & CREATIVE PROJECTS

About

Based between Zurich and South Tyrol, I develop and coordinate cultural initiatives, creative partnerships and interdisciplinary projects across contemporary art and the wider cultural sector. Over the past decade, I have worked with galleries, festivals and public organisations in Switzerland and internationally. My experience ranges from the international contemporary art scene to projects that place culture at the heart of community life. From 2020 to 2022, I served as General Manager of Zurich Art Weekend, leading partnerships, communications and public programmes during a key phase of the platform's international growth. Earlier in my career, I worked at Grieder Contemporary, where I was involved in exhibition production, collection management and artist liaison. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Cultural Tourism from the University of Padua, a Master's degree in Arts & Cultural Management from IESA arts&culture and Paris School of Business, specialising in Art Market and Exhibition Management, and a CAS in Innovation and Change from the University of Basel.

Today, I work independently as a cultural strategist and project manager, advising, curating and collaborating on initiatives in the arts and cultural sector. I am particularly interested in socially engaged cultural practices, minority cultures and multilingual contexts, and in creating meaningful collaborations between people, places and organisations.

Practice

WHERE CLOUDS TAKE FORM.

Together, we develop cultural projects, exhibitions, events, concepts and strategies.

I curate exhibitions, artistic content and cultural experiences.

From production and logistics to collection management, I keep projects moving.

I bring artists, institutions, venues, brands and creative partners together.

I work on editorial content, PR, media relations and audience communication.

I support artists, organisations and private clients with tailored advice, from partnerships and funding to mentoring and art advisory.

Some ideas need a
guiding hand.

Contact

Based between Zurich and South Tyrol, I am curious about people, ideas and projects that connect different perspectives. Whether you have a project in mind or simply feel like exchanging thoughts, I would be delighted to hear from you.

I speak Ladin, Italian, German, French, English, and a little Spanish. ¡Hola!

Oh, and I also love crème brûlée, dogs and art fairs. Not necessarily in this specific order.
