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.

Once again United Visual Artists prove they are in a class of their own when it comes to exploring difficult ideas with clarity and seemingly limitless ingenuity. This installation acts as a meditation on our perception of architectural space, a challenge to the senses engaged in placing the body within that space and a provocation for habitual instincts about time and natural forces. With quite wonderful elegance, a minimal series of elements work in concert to tease and warp the edges of perception into a persuasive and compelling environment. Until the 1st of June.

"...any involvement of smell in human sexual biology is sufficiently repressed such that sexual odours can be used in perfumes without fear that they will illicit sexual behaviour."
