Plastic Propositions: Towards a Sustainable Practice
4th September 2024
In celebration of the exhibition ‘Hospital Rooms. Digital Art School,’ join Hospital Rooms and Hauser & Wirth for a sustainability panel discussion and community building event with art industry professionals at Hauser & Wirth London.
Panelists
• Natalie Carter, Hospital Rooms
• Kate Marlow, Beautility Collective
• Charlotte Kidger and Katie-May Boyd, Studio TIP
• James A Shaw, artist and designer
Chaired by Cliodhna Murphy, Global Head of Environmental Sustainability at Hauser & Wirth
This event is inspired by Heather Davis’s book ‘Plastic Matter’ (2022) about the ubiquity of plastic on our planet. It is in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Nanoplastics penetrate our cell walls. Plastic is not just any material—it is emblematic of life in the 20th and 21st Centuries.
Our panel discussion will highlight the failure of plastic and what can we do with this material that is not going away. The speakers will offer practical solutions to participants to take back to their galleries, studios, commissioning sites and institutions.
Tickets are free, but must be booked in advance. If you are able, we encourage donations to support Hospital Rooms’ charitable work within NHS mental health hospitals.
Hauser & Wirth 23 Savile Row London W1S 2ET | 6pm – 8pm | Free
