Clotho

A Collaborative Case Study in Sustainable Exhibition Making

23 April

In October 2025, Hauser & Wirth London presented Clotho, a solo exhibition by Nicolas Party, featuring new treescapes and portraits that explore the inevitability of aging and mortality. Working with CASI, the gallery adopted a coaching-led approach to assess and reduce environmental impacts. Rather than a traditional carbon audit, this was a hands-on learning journey for the gallery team. Building on the research conducted by partners, Parsons Healthy Materials Lab; Leerform; and Sam Forster; CASI guided the team through carbon estimation, material analysis, and future envisioning exercises—combining training with real-time advisory support. The focus was on estimating the exhibition’s carbon footprint and comparing it to a ‘Business As Usual’ exhibition.

This final report, co-developed by CASI and Hauser & Wirth, integrates these insights and provides actionable recommendations for future practice.
