Event Description : Kiran Nadar Museum of Art presents "Smell Assembly" an artistic research project and exhibition
‘Smell Assembly’(7th September 2019 – 30th October 2019) is a part of a year- long project ‘Smells of the City’ commissioned by Kiran Nadar Museum of Art and anchored by Ishita Dey and Mohammad Sayeed. An artistic research project by research assistants: Malayka Shirazi, Pouloma Saha, Sonali Kumar, Anjana John and Narayan Sardar and the first exhibition of the series ‘Young Artist of our Time’ conceptualized by Akansha Rastogi.
‘Smells of the City’ project is about the smells that surround us. Sometimes we can recognize one from the other, but mostly we can’t. A little subtle and they are ignored altogether. A little louder and they become intimidating. People have their own smells. So do houses. Streets too. And the cities, cities are known by their smells – different for different areas and changing with the time of the day and even seasons. But, how much do we know about smells. Do we have enough words to talk about them? Surely we can distinguish some by their names. But most we know through some or other associations. As if cultures never thought of having dedicated words for distinct smells. Smells are intimate. They are like whispers, hence the emphasis on subtlety. To let a smell go wild is to shout out a secret in public.
