“Smells Like Home” is an exhibition and olfactory installation that addresses the question: “What does home smell like?” The project features artworks that explore themes of migration and building a sense of home with selected works by four artists. The installation exhibits perfume-oriented recreations of the smells of home described by the artists in conversation with the curator. The creation of scents for the exhibition is done in collaboration with Mark Sage of the Bronx-based indie perfume studio Clandestine Laboratories. Each artist hails from a different part of the world, and for one reason or another has chosen to build a home and an artistic career within the borders of the United States. Defining home as a collection of memories and senses built over time, this exhibition utilizes smell, which has the closest connection to memory, to create a portrait of memories defined by each artist’s personal sense of home.
