The smell of war - Peter De Cupere

een hedendaagse tentoonstelling over de geur van de oorlog : reflecties op de eerste gasaanvallen-1915

KORTE INHOUD

Met bijdragen over/van kunstenaars Peter de Cupere, George Grosz, Otto Dix en vele anderen

The Smell of War will shed light on the first gas attacks in World War 1 and deals with the fascinating phenomenon of odour and thereby goes beyond the usual museum based form of experiencing art.

International artists from the present day demonstrate that scent can really be context and /or concept of the work. Scents evoke memories and so also emotions and associations, but let the beholder also re-think and reflect about the context of the work.

The main focus of the exhibition lies on the olfactory artworks about gas attacks and chemical wars, as well as on the not-smelling aspect by protection of gas masks. So we also show works that smell of nothing at all and in which the odour is only conjured up by the visitor’s imagination, or translated as an odour through the image.
