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.

Rodger Hiorns series "Youth" is presented for the first time. Found objects inexplicably issuing flames, are each accompanied by a naked youth creating a relationship between the objects, their conventional associations,  a vulnerable human "accomplice" and an elemental presence which references both the origins and use of our industrial artifacts. Hiorns, perhaps best known for Seizure, his sulphate-crystal encrusted council flat, is one of the most remarkable artists working today. The richness of his thinking and his apparent determination to follow a path only he can define are rare and precious things.

"The problem of not understanding the mechanism of smell is compounded by a language problem ... We use the same language (odour, scent, smell) to describe both the stimuli and the sensation of olfaction."
