About the exhibition 'Unexpected Smells'

Each year, the students of the ArtScience Interfaculty host a preview show where they have a chance to showcase their final artworks to a public audience before graduating. This preview aims to be a more ambitious event:

We propose a three day exhibition with installations, performances and sensorial guided tours alongside a program or workshops and lectures from ArtScience graduates and professionals in the field.

The collective exhibition will consist of interdisciplinary works that combine sight, smell, taste, touch and sound to create multi-dimensional environments which engulf the viewer as a whole. The focus is on the sensorial, the immaterial, the ephemeral, the time-based, the shape-shifting, the hybrid – operating at the intersection between art, science and technology.

'When was the last time you sounded your way through an exhibition or where asked to close your eyes and sniff?'

This exhibition is the culmination of 17 bachelor and master students of the ArtScience Interfaculty, who open their doors and invite you, citizens of The Hague and beyond, to participate in their process, to become actively engaged, to be critical, to give feedback.
