Discussion on Carbon Emissions at Contemporary Art Museums
|
8.19.(Fri) 15:00 10.29.(Sat) 13:00 |
How much carbon does one exhibition release? What are the carbon emission levels of each activity related to exhibition-making? As an initial step to finding out the impact of MMCA’s exhibition activities on climate change, the MMCA calculated the carbon emission levels of its exhibitions. Let’s discuss the historical background of carbon accounting and why and how art museums should be calculating their levels of carbon emissions today. #CarbonEmissions

A Carbon-Neutral MMCA as Imagined by Citizens
|
9. 3.(Sat), 9.17.(Sat), 10. 1.(Sat), 10.15.(Sat) 10:30, 15:00 |
This is a policy design experiment in which 240 citizens and museum workers participate in a relay. It starts from the following hypothetical scenario: The MMCA has declared to become a carbon neutral museum and established an inter-departmental team responsible for this task. From children to decision-makers who can actually influence the museum’s policy, different people will come together to discuss what is needed for this Task Force Team that aims to achieve carbon neutrality. #PolicyDesign

A Discussion on Environmental Impact of Art Materials
|
9.16.(Fri) 15:00 10.20.(Thurs) 15:00 |
An artwork not only provides visual pleasure but also offers a variety of experiences for the viewer through its materials. This program examines how the chemical interaction of different contemporary art materials influences the artist and the viewer. #ArtMaterials

A Workshop on Museum-Passivhaus
|
9.18.(Sun) 13:00 9.25.(Sun) 13:00 10. 2.(Sun) 13:00 10. 9.(Sun) 13:00 10.16.(Sun) 13:00 10.23.(Sun) 13:00 |
A passive approach to energy refers to solving a problem by using the energy given naturally instead of making an active effort. This program draws upon the principles of the Passivhaus* to reflect on the issue of a museum’s energy efficiency in the midst of today’s climate crisis. #Energy * Passivhaus is a German institute that has created and promoted a voluntary standard for energy-efficient architecture. |

A Discussion on Museums and Climate Change (Part 1)
|
9.27.(Tue) 15:00
|
This program opens up a discussion on the direction of museums in times of climate change, as seen from the point of view of curators and operations. Through the prism of climate change, participants will question the essence of art and exhibitions, as well as the distance between such ideals and reality. #ArtMuseums

A Discussion on Museums and Climate Change (Part 2)
|
Exact dates to be announced
|
In addition to exhibitions, other parts of museums, such as their storage capacities, public art, and art education, are also coming to grips with the issue of climate change. This program invites people involved in these activities to share their concerns on the issue and what specifically has triggered them. #Art |

A Humanistic Study on Carbon as an Object: The Issue of Climate Change and Carbon as Another Epistemology
|
9.30.(Fri) 15:00
|
Climate change raises a challenge to the boundaries between human history and natural history. It involves a process of addressing problems about the human community. Therefore, it is no longer pertinent to approach the problem from existing frameworks by offering solutions derived in the past. In this respect, the discussion on climate change or carbon emissions must reflect an alternative epistemology to view the present era. #Humanities

The Birth and Death of an Exhibition (A Qualitative Study by Stakeholders on the Construction, Transportation, and Installation of an Exhibition) |
10.13.(Thurs) 13:00 |
Issues of climate change and carbon neutrality are affecting all processes involved in the “birth and death” of an exhibition. This program traces relevant policies, the actions and perceptions of participants, and the flow of materials. The findings are then visualized. #ExhibitionConstruction

Is Sustainable Exhibition Design Possible? Part 3 |
10.22.(Sat) 18:00
|
Sustainable Exhibition Design/Operations and the MMCA’s Relationship with Other Industries Environmental concerns inevitably lead to higher costs and additional energy, the so-called “green premium.” In the art sector, how is this change interconnected with other industries? This program tackles said question from the point of view of exhibition design, graphic design, and industrial design. #ExhibitionDesign |

ESG at Museums
| 10.29.(Sat) 15:00
| In an era of drastic climate change, corporate activities must consider non-financial aspects, which include environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) concerns. How should art museums and the art industry approach these ESG objectives? How can these ESG factors be connected with the operational strategies of the museum, and what does ESG mean in the art world? #ESG | Discussion, Presentation, pre-workshop, interview

A Discussion on the Clothing Design Process and Sustainability
| Discussed in advance, 10.30.(Sun) 15:00
| This program addresses the issues that need to be kept in mind when designing a uniform for museum employees. An alternative design process is proposed, taking into consideration environmental influences, the customer service staff members who will be wearing the uniform, and the characteristics of a public art museum. #ClothingDesignProcess
| Internal workshop, proposal of clothing design process
