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.

El Bulli

Half a century of innovation, sensory exploration of the highest order and global acclaim culminated in chef Ferran Adria being recognized as the man who single handedly redefined the grammar of gastronomy. This is the first exhibition anywhere celebrating the extent of the achievements at El Bulli and attempting to encapsulate the history and ideas behind Adria's work so far. There is a persuasive case to be made for his being the most profound innovator in any medium for decades. The impact of Adria's thinking has been felt across continents. This is an engrossing exhibition celebrating one of history's great sensualists. Until September the 29th.
