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.

This show of new works proceeds a trio of large scale retrospectives mounted in the US in 2013. Four relatively small scale installations occupy Pace's Burlington Gardens site, each characteristic aperture carefully washed with artificial light, gradually changing colour. This alone distinguishes them from most previous works which, while appearing to alter in colour and brilliance, were in fact constant and witness to the altering perception of the viewer over time. There is a sense in which these pieces behave in imitation of the artist's skyspaces (open to the infinite variations in natural light conditions) yet the predictable cycles evident here, while still engaging, are ultimately less satisfying.

"The sensory aspects of the normal human being should be taken into consideration in all forms of design. Let's take the Coca-Cola bottle for instance. Even when wet and cold, it's twin- sphered body offers a delightful valley for the friendly fold of one's hand, a feel that is cozy and luscious."
- Raymond Loewy, 1951, Never leave Well Enough Alone
