Scent in Context: Olfactory Art

Beschreibung

Scent in Context is a unique document that witnesses the olfactory artist Peter de Cupere’s research, the origins and context of his work and practice, and that offers a view and presentation of more than 500 artworks. 7 authors, 472 pages, more than 1500 illustrations and images, 22 images with 11 different scratch and sniff hidden smells, all make this 3kg book a complete guide to discover the world of olfactory art. The publication will surprise and interact with the reader with soft and beautiful smells but in contrast might also shock while presenting intense or mind-teasing smells. Refine your nostrils when reading this book. By exploiting the subjective, associative impact of smells, in combination with visual images, Peter de Cupere generates a kind of meta-sensory experience that goes beyond purely seeing or smelling. Plastic artist De Cupere paints with scents, produces olfactory objects, soap paintings and sculptures, creates video and live performances, makes three-dimensional drawings and builds poetic smell installations. Text in English and Dutch.

Peter de Cupere (°1970) is an olfactory artist who lives and works in Antwerp and Hasselt. De Cupere creates work intended to explore experiences of smelling. As part of his olfactory art practice, De Cupere explores technology. He invented the "Olfactio" in collaboration with Cartamundi. In collaboration with Gluon, Callebaut and chocolatier Patrick Mertens, he invented "Cocoa 5 Senses". Starting in 1997 and going on until 2004 he invented the first working scent piano, called Olfactiano. The Aesthetics of Smelly Art. In 2012 he invented The Blind Smell Stick and The Blind Smell Touch, these smell devices let the spectators find their way or experience objects and food just by smelling. It was exhibited for the first time in the World Creativity Biennale in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. Peter de Cupere is a tutor affiliated with the ″PXL-MAD School of Arts″ in Hasselt, Belgium and a researcher.

In 2014 Peter de Cupere wrote The Olfactory Art Manifest. On August 11, 2014. After two years of intensively collecting his bodily smells, he got only a small bottle ‘Own Smell’ at his disposal.
