About this Event
The Institute for Art and Olfaction is thrilled to welcome artist Carrie Paterson in a solo exhibition: Beneath the Earth, the Sky.
Beneath the Earth, the Sky uses the sculptural idea of inversion to contemplate the current moment within a history of contemplative practices. Miniature landscapes and olfactory sculptures serve as mnemonic devices for “home” and temporal experiences. Glass vessels construct models of the cosmos and cognitive psychology — the processes of humans’ understanding of self within the contexts of body, society, world, universe, and the imagination of the invisible, immaterial beyond. Several works are specifically designed for spacefarers, featuring orientation and navigation in combination with olfactory chemistry and cues. The artworks embrace open systems, unpredictability, and feature some degree of stochastic decay.
Carrie Paterson has been working with scent in the context of her deeply researched art-technology practice for two decades.On April 26th we're thrilled to present the IAOgallery opening of 'Beneath the Earth, the Sky', an overview of her work exploring a speculative, embodied experience of outer space.
