Art Switch virtual conference series is returning with its second edition on Friday, January 29, 2021, bringing together innovative voices and practitioners who are shaping matters of sustainability in the arts. In this specially curated edition, [re]Shaping Exhibition Practices, we’ll discuss the role museums and galleries can play to rethink the conventional format of an exhibition and its immediate impact on the planet.

Our speakers will explore sustainability in curatorial practice, discuss the structure and process of loans, consider what the art market can do to create environmentally-conscious exhibitions, and question how we can shift our thinking around blockbuster exhibitions, taking into account the effect of Covid-19 on the arts sector. We will emphasize how sustainability can be systematically integrated in the planning and decision-making processes of exhibitions in a post-pandemic world.
