MOCA Panel: Scent Rave: New Variations on Scent, Art, and Community

Olfactory artist and perfumer Maxwell Williams of UFO Parfums addresses the intersection of experimental handmade perfumery, contemporary art, dance music, and the communities that embrace all three. In addition to a DJ set by Brian Piñeyro aka DJ Python and a pop-up shop, the afternoon features a panel discussion moderated by Williams with contributions from Saskia Wilson Brown, founder of the Institute for Art and Olfaction; Andreas Keller, founder of Olfactory Art Keller; and Hyungi Park, artist and incense maker. Organized in conjunction with the Institute for Art and Olfaction’s Scent Week, this program is a continuation of Williams’s Scent Rave, an ongoing project that looks to create spaces that integrate smell, discussion, and dance—opening up all the senses to new possibilities.
