Dressing The Air is the brainchild of the London-based artist Paul Schütze.

In a career spanning 30 years, Schütze has exhibited his photographic and installation works in galleries and museums around the world, released over thirty albums of original recordings, scored a number of films and performed numerous concerts. He has collaborated with artists such as James Turrell, Josiah McElheny and Isaac Julien and musicians as diverse as Bill Laswell, Raoul Björkenheim, Toshinori Kondo, Lol Coxhill and Jah Wobble.

Dressing The Air is a unique open resource that aims to enrich creative thinking by encouraging a multi-sensory approach. A constantly evolving archive and creative news feed, Dressing The Air monitors and reports on a diverse range of art-forms from cinema to sculpture, painting to furniture design, land-art to perfumery.

Beautiful/terrible collision.

Beautiful/terrible collision.

Toshio Shibata has spent years documenting the locations at which the Japanese landscape meets the Japanese love of construction. The apparent armoring and transformation of natural terrains into complex geometric super-surfaces is presented as both poetic and, at times, overwhelming. His unimpeachable technique and poet's eye reliably deliver sublime and powerful works.

"The house constructs an orthopaedic sensorium around us; conversely the sensorium constructs our little portable house, our fragile vessel, a soft membrane ready to burst open under the assault of the smallest thorn."
- Michel Serres, 1985, The Five Senses
