Olfactory Art Exhibit - odor limits
I have a bit of a thing for scent media and art. This show at the Esther M. Klein Art Gallery in Philadelphia looks fabulous. I have read the work of one of the curators Jim Drobnick and he has a wonderful way to criticaly analyse scent and society via installation art. After reading the Diamond Age and a bit about the Experience Economy I am more cautious about my little teeny tiny role in the world of sensory immersive technologies. All ambivalence aside, I would love to see this exhibit.
The Esther M. Klein Art Gallery at the University City Science Center and the Monell Center present Odor Limits, an exhibition that explores the potential of smell in aesthetic experience. The works in this show employ natural, synthetic and imaginary scents to delve into pressing contemporary themes about cultural difference, personal identity, spirituality, and the body.
