Circular Museum

2023

Museum of Modern Art | ART 2030

Circular Museum, a collaboration between MoMA’s Ambasz Institute and ART 2030, is a virtual panel-discussion series inviting artists, museum directors, curators, exhibition designers, and other museum practitioners from around the world to talk about their efforts to address the climate crisis through their work. How is incorporating sustainability and circularity into various levels of museum practice not only urgent, but desirable?


In six sessions, the series will examine how museums and cultural workers have—and can—consider and implement circular and sustainable museological practices. Through detailed discussions of efforts to make exhibition design more environmentally friendly, the Circular Museum brings museum practitioners and artists together with MoMA’s Carson Chan and ART 2030’s Luise Faurschou to elaborate on sustainability practices, challenges, and reflections.


From February to August, the program invites cultural practitioners and art audiences worldwide to join reflective discussions on museums as relevant spaces for positive change.

Episode 4

The Journey to Sustainability Onsite


with Olafur Eliasson and Yuko Hasegawa


June 9 10:00-11:30 ET / 16:00-17:30 CET


The fourth episode brings together artist Olafur Eliasson and curator Yuko Hasegawa to revisit their collaboration on the exhibition Sometimes the river is the bridge at Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2020. Having approached the project as a pilot for ‘sustainable exhibition making, the exhibition resulted in displays of artworks powered by solar panels and recorded drawings of their low-emission transport journey from Berlin to Tokyo. This conversation revisits the challenges and successes of a pilot and unfolds upon its learnings for sustainable artistic and curatorial practices today.

Episode 3

Systematic Designs to Tackle Waste and Maximize Building Efficiency


with Lana Hum, Eliana Glicklich-Cohn, and Jason Smith


The third episode brought us to The Museum of Modern Art to discuss the topic of developing systematic designs to be more sustainable across the Museum. We heard from MoMA’s director of exhibition design and production, Lana Hum, about her approach to waste reduction during the exhibition design process, and from Jason Smith and Eliana Glicklich-Cohn, senior managers of sustainability, about how they have implemented strategies and measurements to minimize the museum’s operational waste, energy usage, and carbon footprint.

Episode 2

Exploring Sustainability through Experimentation


with Jeppe Hein and Gitte Ørskou


The second episode brought together artist Jeppe Hein and Gitte Ørskou, Director of Moderna Museet in Stockholm. Expanding upon their collaboration on the 2022 exhibition “Jeppe Hein: Who are you really?”, which was produced entirely without shipping works to the museum and instead focused on interactions between the building, collection, and its visitors, this conversation explored how co-experimentation between artist and museum can act as a catalyst for shifting towards sustainable and circular exhibition production.

Episode 1

Ways of Collecting and Commissioning


with Tino Sehgal and Frances Morris


The first episode brought together artist Tino Sehgal and Frances Morris, Director of Tate Modern, to reflect on how the artist and the institution have each incorporated environmental considerations into the processes of collecting and commissioning. As spaces in service of both present and future publics, how can our museums utilize these practices to foster sustainability in our global society?

In 2006 he cofounded PROGRAM, a project space and residency program in Berlin that tested the disciplinary boundaries of architecture through exhibition making. Chan co-curated the 4th Marrakech Biennale in 2012, and the year after he served as executive curator of the Biennial of the Americas in Denver. He holds a bachelor of architecture degree from Cornell University and a master’s of design studies from Harvard Graduate School of Design.
