The Olfactory Art Manifest by Peter de Cupere, August 11 2014

On August 11th, 101 years after the manifest of Carlo Carra “La Pittura dei suoni, rumori, odori: Manifesto futurista” [The Painting of Sounds, Noises, Smells: Futurist Manifesto], Peter de Cupere has signed his Olfactory art manifest with his 'Own Smell' which he has developed over the past 2 years through distillation of his bodily smells. After two years of intensively collecting his bodily smells and distilling these, he has only a small bottle ‘Own Smell’ at his disposal. This smell extract was the ink to sign the manifest. More info about this manifest you find on the website www.olfactoryartmanifest.com

The Manifest of Carlo Carrà, August 11 1913

Peter de Cupere collects since several years works, documents and stuff related to the use of scent in art history. The manifest of Carlo Carrà is one of these. It's a hard to find historical document. Only a few museums in the world have a version of it.

 

 

Historical documents about the use of scent in history related to film, theater and events

In Peter de Cupere's historical archive are important rare documents related to the use of scent related to films, theatre and events. In the exhibition you can discover a selection of these documents.
