News! Smell the Artist

Peter De Cupere is creating his smell. Not just a smell, but a composition of the smells of his body, skin of different parts, breath, sweat, sperm, spittel, nose drops, blood and many more smells you can imagine with a person. The smells are and will be substracted on different times, after different moments, after special diners made for him self by him self. A research that will go on his whole life. His first edition of his perfume will be soon available ...

The perfume is called 'Peter'

lecture-cwf-peterdecupere11In his lecture "Olfactology Lab" Peter De Cupere talked about the possibilities how he as an artist interacts between nature and society.
The relationship between the use of scent as a creative aspect of his work and the references to scientific backgrounds and mental responses (based on the memory of the viewer's mind). As examples of his olfactory artworks he explains his tree - and flower works. He ended his lecture with his "Flower Fragum Cardamomi" which was exhibited during the whole Creativity World Forum 2011 event. November 16th 2011

Video of the performance




Jan Fabre invited several artists to integrate art into his dance labo Troubleyn.

Peter Cupere made the work 'Sweat'. Sweat is a performance where the sweat of 5 dancers was caught. They wear specially designed costumes that were made out of plastic and connected by tubes. Before the action, the artist made a separate dish for each dancer. The intention is to catch the sweat from the dancers and to distill it. The sweat will be sprayed on a wall of the dance lab and protected by a glass box. In the glass is a small hole where visitors can smell the sweat. The performance is shown by video in the glass tank. More info will follow soon. The performance is shown for a selective audience (200 people, no places available anymore).

Other artists who are invited to realize a new art integration are: Michael Borremans, Koen Van den Broek, Berlinde De Bruykere, Joep van Lieshout, Robert Devriendt, Johan van Geluwe, ... for the total list from the earlier art integrations and more info: www.troubleyn.be

Article in Chinese magazine Public Art & Ecology

The process of repurposing materials has immeasurable benefits. There are instinctive, economic, esthetic, philosophical, and even political reasons to recycle, and visual artists are a very big part of this process. In an attempt to bring together compelling examples of this trend, D. Dominick Lombardi asked a number of artists from various parts of the world to answer four questions with the hopes of clarifying this ever-increasing phenomenon of repurposing with a purpose.

Alleen ‘muf’ is niet genoeg
Praten over geurkunst

(Recensie/Marjolein van Trigt/15.09.2010)

Geurkunst is hot. Het MoMa in New York wijdde er eerder dit jaar een symposium aan. Komende 23 september staat er een avond in het Temporary Stedelijk in het teken van geur. Ook Arminius in Rotterdam organiseerde een boeiend debat over het onderwerp.
