Play Party

Art Olfaction Amsterdam

13 Aug 2018

It’s time to celebrate the end of our scent-infused summer with a bang! Spritz on your favourite perfume, put on those dancing shoes, and join us for a festive evening and closing party of Art Olfaction Amsterdam.  

Play Party is a game-filled evening. Go nose-to-nose with friends and perfect strangers to show off your new-found olfactory knowledge in Kendra’s Smelly Game Show. Take part in a variety of stage games, answer trivia questions and become the Grand Prize Winner. Winner or loser, we all end the night smiling on the dancefloor thanks to the scentual tunes by DJs Da Iguana and Okamax, with a live set designed to keep you fresh all night long.

Early Bird Extra! Come at 6pm to test Het Parfum and get free entrance + pizza in return.

8 pm. Kendra’s Smelly Game Show

The nose (and you) knows more than you think! Be amazed by your knowledge and compete in Kendra’s Smelly Game Show. Ever watched a spectacular game show and thought: 'Hey, I could do this much better'? Well, now’s your chance. Step into this live studio experience and prove the power of your sniffer-whiffer!

A variety of stage games like Name that Fume, Message in a Bottle and Animal Instincts test your innate ability to differentiate and memorise smells, determine fact from fiction, and guess which scents come from wild animals.

Prepare for broken noses as you battle against new friends or future colleagues, or enjoy the sweet smell of success by becoming the Grand Prize Winner! All smellers are welcome, regardless of experience. Players will be grouped, so bring friends or meet new ones.

Tickets (Free to all Test Run attendees)

Stick around after the Game Show and celebrate the end of a wonderful summer at our After Party.

Smell tracks provided by Chiara Antoniacomi, Julianne Lee, and the Institute for Art and Olfaction team.

IAO and Art Olfaction Amsterdam

Play Party is part of Art Olfaction Amsterdam, a collaboration between Mediamatic and The Institute for Art and Olfaction, based in Los Angeles. One of the IAO goals is to provide an accessible and affordable education in their laboratory for the people who have traditionally not had access. They also support the art and perfume communities by advancing experimental practices through ongoing creative residency programs, community-minded events (Experimental Scent Summit, A.I.X. Scent Fair), and through the Art and Olfaction Awards.
