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.

Type / Dynamics

For their part of the exhibition Type/Dynamics : Jurriaan Schrofer/Lust, Lust have devised a room populated solely by interactive projections. Taking the meticulously hand-drawn typography of Schrofer as a departure point, Lust have animated the information to respond to movement and enquiry. Using code and computation they have imparted a kinetic dynamism to what was a pure graphic exuberance. This seems to be a worthy response to the legacy of this important designer and one which hopefully will transmit his innovations beyond historical curiosity and into the evolving grammar of contemporary information design. Until March 4th.

"Death is explained by the Ongee as a loss of one's personal odour. They believe that they kill the animals they hunt by letting out all of their smells and that they themselves are hunted by spirits, called Tomya, who kill them by absorbing their odors."
- Constance Classen, 1993, Worlds Of Sense:Exploring The Senses in History And Across Cultures
