How Many Litres of Chip Fat Needed to Power an Art Fair ?

Frieze will, this year be using some 40 - 50,000 litres of recycled chip fat to power its generators and encouraging dealers to use sea rather than air freight. London has a target of 60% reduction in its co2e emissions by 2025.

Julie's Bicycle, Frieze and the Mayor's Office have launched the Green Visual Arts Guide for London, which will be published at Frieze in October, with a view to ensuring the visual arts sector does its bit to meet this target.  The guide, modeled on those already available for theatre and music will provide a benchmark for galleries, fairs and studios to work against, case studies, tools etc.  All London-based visual arts organisations are being offered free carbon footprinting, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
