About This Event

Scents & Medical Sensibility

Curated by Kóan Jeff Baysa, MD
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 11, 6-8pm

Have you ever pondered how the olfactory sense affects visual perception, or how a scent can evoke a dormant childhood memory? In this unconventional exhibition international curator, art critic and clinical allergist, Dr. Kóan Jeff Baysa, asks artists and fragrance researchers to explore how the physical self experiences and knows the world through the sense of smell. So by trading in their paints for aromatic oils and fragrances the participating artists transform the traditional gallery into an olfactory lab, where visitors directly experience the connection between physical health and visual aesthetics.

Exhibiting Artists: Peter Hopkins, Mathias Kessler, Josee Lepage, Anne McClain,
Gayil Nalls, Carrie Paterson, Jiayi Young, Shih-Wen Young, & Tobias Wong
