The speakers of the first Odorama edition:
Caro Verbeek
Art historian and Odorama-curator Caro Verbeek has been studying the olfaction arts for quite some time. Caro will introduce us to the history of olfactory art, her story will take us from the exclusive Nardus scent as shown in the painting by Jan van Scorel to the contemporary artwork Nursery Piece, with eucalyptus scent, by Job Koelewijn. Expect not only to see great historical images, you will also smell them.
Caro's talk will be accompanied by Scentman the Aroma Jockey
Peter de Cupere
Peter de Cupere is know for his many scent sculptures, installations and perfomances. By exploiting the subjective, associative impact of smells, in combination with visual images, Peter De Cupere generates a kind of meta-sensory experience that goes beyond purely seeing or smelling. Peter will talk about the concept and context of his work, but there is more! You are invited to experience the Smell Me Perfumance.
Marit Mihklepp
The starting point of Marit's project is the contradiction between the source of fragrances and the actual smell. "Weirdly enough, humans try to hide the smells of our sweat with perfumes made of all those secretions and vomit from other animals." Same as with finger prints, every individual person has a unique specific odor profile. Responsible for these scents are bacteria, Marit used those to develop her own microbial perfume.
