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.

Weare

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.

SIT-PLU

Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse

Riverscapes and their Ecological Interconnections is the residency program curated by Lungomare for Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse (SIT-PLU), a Creative Europe Cooperation project addressing socio-ecological challenges through context-specific artistic interventions.
Drawing on the Zapatista concept of the pluriverse—“a world where many worlds fit”—the project embraces diverse ways of knowing and living, foregrounding buen vivir (social well-being), communal interdependence, and relationships between human and more-than-human entities.

SIT-PLU is structured around three main components: Situated Residencies (SIT-RES), Pluriversal Laboratories (PLU-LABs), and an Exchange & Evaluation Programme (EX-EV). These activities foster artistic experimentation and knowledge sharing across various European regions.
The residencies take place in four different contexts, exploring innovative perspectives on cross-disciplinary research and new forms of context-specific artistic intervention through a situated approach.

 

The four organisations hosting the residencies are:

  • ZEMOS98 (Spain) – Exploring rural practices in the Cantabrian Mountains
  • Idensitat (Barcelona) – Engaging with urban-social dynamics near the Besòs River
  • Lungomare (Bolzano) – Investigating riverscapes and their ecological interconnections
  • Baltan (Netherlands) – Highlighting rural futures at Landpark Assisië in Noord-Brabant

Lungomare’s Residency program: Riverscapes and their ecological interconnections

The artistic residencies at Lungomare will focus on Liquid Territories as Learning Sites within FLUX – River Interventions and Explorations. The selected artist, urban practitioner, or collective will work on site-specific interventions addressing the river’s ecological, cultural, and social dimensions.
