"This book claims a political value for olfactory artworks by situating them squarely in the contemporary moment of various forms of political resistance. Each chapter presents the current research and art practices of an international group of artists and writers from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, Sweden, and the Netherlands. The book brings together new thinking on the potential for olfactory art to critique and produce modes of engagement that challenge the still-powerful hegemonic realities of the twenty-first century, particularly the dominance of vision as opposed to other sensory modalities. The book will be of interest to scholars working in contemporary art, art history, visual culture, olfactory studies, performance studies, and politics of activism"--

Un ouvrage salutaire et bienvenu qui brosse un panorama de l’art olfactif qui fait entrer en force le sens de l’odorat et le monde des odeurs et des effluves dans le monde de l’art contemporain. Cet ouvrage s’emploie à esquisser une histoire de l’art qui s’appréhende non pas par les sens de l’intellect que sont la vue et l’oeil, mais par l’un des oubliés du corps : le nez. Prenant pour point de départ les aventures futuristes du début du XXe siècle et s’étirant jusqu’à nos jours, il est proposé ici de rendre compte de la présence des effluves dans ce que l’occident a établi comme l’histoire de l’art. Ni matière ni médium, ni courant ni mouvement, l’olfaction tout à fait invisibilisée par la critique, est pourtant omniprésente, et elle est bavarde. Elle dit tout de notre monde, tout en s’opposant à une hégémonique culture du tout oeil, divisant depuis toujours le corps et l’esprit des artistes et des spectateurs. Par l’étude de l’odeur, l’art s’ouvre en une autre voie. Sandra Barré, critique d’art et commissaire d’exposition, rédige une thèse menée à la Sorbonne Paris Panthéon qui porte sur la plasticité de l’odeur et réfléchit aux questions de la représentation du genre par les odeurs.

"An overview of the aesthetic and ethical issues raised by the contemporary olfactory arts, which range from gallery and museum sculptures and installations, through the enhancement of theatre, film and music with scents, to the ambient scenting of stores and avant-garde chefs' use of scents in cuisine. Special attention is given to the aesthetics of perfume and incense and the question of their art status, as well as to the role of scent in the appreciation of nature and gardens. Ethical issues are discussed regarding ambient scenting, perfume wearing, and the use of smells in fast-food marketing. Because of the traditional neglect and denigration of the sense of smell and its aesthetic potential by philosophers from Kant and Hegel to the present, and by Darwin's and Freud's view of the human sense of smell as a near useless evolutionary vestige, the first parts of the book counter that tradition with both philosophical arguments and evidence from current evolutionary theory, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, history, linguistics and literature. Although the focus is on Western olfactory arts, the book draws on non-Western examples throughout. The book is aimed at both philosophers and general readers interested in the arts, and develops positions that should stimulate further discussion"--

"Fleeting - Scents in Colour explores odours and the sense of smell as portrayed in Dutch and Flemish art of the seventeenth century - from fragrant flowers and perfumes to body odours and stinking canals. It is about the sensory role played by smells in daily life, about odours and health, about spices and other scents from far-off lands, and about lost 'smellscapes' of the past. But how were odours and the sense of smell portrayed? What meanings were attached to smells and what did they call to mind? Can the life of those times be captured in smells? We are surrounded by countless odours that vanish over time yet exert a strong (often subconscious) infleunce on our emotions. There are just as many stories to be told about the invisible and intangible phenomenon of smell as there are about art. Using our sense of smell while looking at art can open up a whole new world"--Page 4 of cover.

"This volume tackles the role of smell, under-explored in relation to the other senses, in the modern rejection, reappraisal and idealisation of antiquity. Among the senses olfaction in particular has often been overlooked in classical reception studies due to its evanescent nature, which makes this sense difficult to apprehend in its past instantiations. And yet, the smells associated with a given figure or social group convey a rich imagery which in turn connotes specific values: perfumes, scents and foul odours both reflect and mould the ways in which a society thinks or acts. Smells also help to distinguish between male and female, citizens and strangers, and play an important role during rituals. The Smells and Senses of Antiquity in the Modern Imagination focuses on the representation of ancient smells - both enticing and repugnant - in the visual and performative arts from the late 18th century up to the 21st century. The individual contributions explore painting, sculpture, literature and film, but also museum exhibitions, advertising, television series and graphic novels, which have all played a part in reshaping modern audiences' perceptions and experiences of the antique"

Suzel Balez fait la synthèse des connaissances et débats contemporains sur les relations entre lieux et odeurs, et propose des clefs pour la conception olfactive spatialisée. Elle offre une référence à ceux qui souhaitent penser les espaces de façon multisensorielle et un outil de réflexion sur ses pratiques à tout « odorisateur » qu'il soit artiste, metteur en scène ou commercial.Après un état des obstacles à la pensée des ambiances odorantes, l'auteure propose un concept interdisciplinaire, l'effet odorant, permettant la compréhension comme la conception des phénomènes odorants situés.Les bases d'une telle conception spatiolfactive sont alors explorées en prenant en compte les matériaux mis en œuvre et leurs positionnements, relativement à leurs surfaces d'échange avec l'air ambiant, ses trajets et ses compositions.Inscrite dans une pensée multisensorielle des lieux, ces réflexions renvoient aux bouleversements environnementaux et à la manière de les prendre en compte dans la conception spatiale
