The museum is reviewing its operations, implementing sustainable and circular practices both internally and through the contractors engaged to reuse building and exhibition materials, employing climate-responsible shipping, reducing plastic in catering and retail spaces, and realizing recycling and waste reductions which includes supporting sustainable food practices and the adoption of organics recycling. To start, the museum is focusing on carbon reduction through infrastructure, aided by grants received from the Los Angeles Low Carbon Leaders Pilot Program (2021) to scope all reduction opportunities, and from the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative (2021) to support a shift to solar energy at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The museum aims to draw down its historic carbon footprint, back to the museum’s founding in 1979, with the goal of negating historical carbon emissions by 2023. In 2021, MOCA made a net-zero carbon declaration and is proceeding with plans to cut its direct carbon emissions by more than 50% by 2030, in alignment with the Paris Agreement and with the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) and Partners for Arts Climate Targets (PACT) standards. The exhibition’s Climate Impact Report will be published on the sustainability platform Artists Commit. The Rist Studio offsets its studio practices and plans in a manner to lower air travel. What could not be reduced was assessed through a carbon audit and offset by the purchase of REDD+ carbon offsets targeting the protection of historic carbon stores. The museum collaborated with Rist to ensure an environmentally-responsible exhibition and achieve a low carbon footprint by sourcing local recycled material, shipping works by ocean containers, and serving a climate-conscious menu for the opening night dinner. The exhibition surveys more than thirty years of the Swiss artist’s work, encompassing early single-channel videos, large-scale installations, and a new audio-video installation made specifically for The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA.
