SCENTS & MEDICAL SENSIBILITY @ The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery
Opening Reception with the curator & artists: Thursday, March 11, 6-8pm
1632 U St. NW, Washington DD 20009

Curated by Kóan Jeff Baysa, MD
Exhibition Dates: March 1 – May 3

Have you ever pondered how the olfactory sense affects visual perception, or how a scent can evoke a dormant childhood memory? In this unconventional exhibition international curator, art critic and clinical allergist, Kóan Jeff Baysa, MD, asks artists and fragrance researchers to explore how the physical self experiences and knows the world through the sense of smell. Some artists, using aromatic oils and fragrances, transform the traditional gallery into an olfactory lab; others use visuals to invoke olfactory stimuli. Visitors will experience the connection between physical health and visual, gustatory, and olfactory aesthetics.

Exhibiting Artists: Peter Hopkins, Mathias Kessler, Josee Lepage, Anne McClain,
Gayil Nalls, Carrie Paterson, Jiayi Young, Shih-Wen Young, & Tobias Wong

Gallery Hours: Wed.-Fri. 11am-5pm, Sat. 11am-3pm, or by appointment

This looks very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Are you going to the opening reception, Lauryn? Unfortunately, I *just* scheduled an appointment for tomorrow evening and couldn't make the opening.
