was at the prestigious Frieze Art Fair this morning to launch his Green
Visual Arts Guide, aimed at helping artists, galleries and arts fairs to
become greener and save cash. The Mayor has set a target for London to
reduce emissions by 60 per cent by 2025 and the new guide gives
practical information tailored specifically for the visual arts,
highlighting how the sector can cut its carbon emissions and in the
process save money. The Mayor, whose draft Climate Change Mitigation and
Energy strategy is now available for public consultation, was joined at
Frieze Art Fair by Tate Director Nicholas Serota and Matthew Slotover,
Co-Director of Frieze Art Fair, which are already working to reduce
their own emissions. Straightforward advice contained in the guide
includes: saving energy through efficiency measures such as LED lighting
and installation of insulation; using renewable energy; increasing
recycling and composting and reducing the amount of Carbon Emissions.
