About the Project
Tangible Scents - Composition of Rose in the Air - is an open-air installation which uses Maki Ueda's original method of “de-and re-construction in the air” to decode on the scent of rose. The five major components of the this scent are individually infused into vats of soap, which will each be poured into five different bubble machines. You can deconstruct rose into its component scents by poking the bubbles, or immerse yourself in the total scent. (curator: Aersen Lease, artistic director for the Reed Arts Week Festival 2018)
Olfactory artist Maki Ueda (JP/NL) considers smell a ‘new media’. In her practice, she minimizes the influence of other senses in order to center the spectator’s attention on her fragrant gestures. In addition to her own creative work, she has also taught a course on olfactory art at the ArtScience Interfaculty of The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (NL) since 2009. While Ueda is currently based in Okinawa, Japan, she works all over the world.

OLFACTORY GAMES became a finalist in Art and Olfaction Awards 2018 (Sadakichi Award)
I'm pleased to announce that my course Olfactory Games (Smell and Art) has become a finalist in the 5th Art and Olfaction Awards.
This time I didn't submit my own work but "a course". I never expected that it would make it, to be honest. I appreciate the judges that made a unique decision. Applause to my colleagues at ArtScience, and all the students who participated in the course! We never stop creating new games.
Some of the students will give presentations at the pre event Experimental Scent Summit on 18-19 Apr 2018 in London. Award ceremony (gala) is on the 21st of Apr.

Olfactory Games
Maki Ueda started her olfactory art course Smell and Art in 2009 at the ArtScience Interfaculty. In the course students learn a conceptual and abstract approach to the medium of smell. The use of smell goes beyond the representational use and focuses on its qualities and experience without a need for a narrative or context. The students are challenged to develop olfactory games using this approach. Furthermore, they learn chemical skills by extracting and composing smells to support their creations. The game format challenges our imagination: while we always have limited fragrance materials, we never stop thinking of new games. The Japanese traditional olfactory game Kodo is a good example of this.
Course conception: Maki Ueda
Participating students: June Yu, Lauren Jetty Howells-Green, Kay Churcher, Sophia Bulgakova, Ana Oosting, Abel Fazekas, Ilia Lukovnikov, Vera Khvaleva, Sunna Svavarsdottir, Mischa Lind, Stefano Zucchini, Georgia Kosmatou, Koen de Groot, Tudor Ulrich, Anni Nops, ...and all the students participating in the past courses.
Course given at: ArtScience Interfaculty of the Royal Academy of Art and Royal Conservatoire, The Hague, The Netherlands

There was a time when textiles were precious goods. Actually, a time not so long ago. Yarns were spun and woven together by hand. And yet not everyone could get his hands on bigger pieces of fabric. So one had to make due with what one got and sew together fabric scraps to make clothes to wear or futons to sleep on. That's what you find in the BORO collection: textiles that were handed from one generation to the next, with seams having been mended here and holes having been patched with fabric scraps there. You will be surprised by how vibrant, how full of life these textiles are. As were designers at Louis Vuitton, COMME des GARÇONS and KAPTIAL, who all were inspired by BORO.
Not art works but not fashion either, these textiles, as they now exist in front of us, were born out of necessity. As was their design. That is what makes them so convincing, so real. They give us access to an idea of beauty and aesthetic pleasures different from textiles produced for the aristocracy or the wealthy.
In times such as ours, were money is spent on the redevelopment of Tokyo before pompous Olympic Games instead of earthquake victims, where the country's leaders cheerfully buy weapons of mass destruction, we might take a look back at our roots. Wasn't it textiles like these, that our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, 50, 60 years ago, there in the dark, silently sewed, mended, patched after we went to bed? Where is Japan heading? Is our way of life right the way it is? That's what we should ask these textiles.

- move, smell, and sense -
It's a small, yet life-size maze designed for playful olfactory exploration that challenges your sense of smell. If you follow the right scent, you will manage to get out of the space. Otherwise you will be stuck in the maze.
In recent years my key words have been "movement" and "olfactory experience". I've been researching omni-directional olfactory experiences within a certain space. The sensations created by actively walking around and finding smells are very different from just passively receiving smells.
I’ve wanted to make such life-size "olfactory labyrinth" for years. But I first experimented at low cost, resulting in this first prototype in 2013: an installation with bottles hanging from the ceiling in a grid. Each bottle contains fragrant oil. The candle rope by which it hangs from the ceiling gradually absorbs the oil and spreads the scent around the space.
The main focus is the olfactory experience rather than the scent itself. I think that smell is, in itself, neutral. It's the audience who attribute meanings such as "I dislike this smell" or "This is the smell I knew from my grandma's house" after processing olfactory information in their brains. Such meanings to smells are given from personal experiences and histories. This is why I chose not to give meanings to smells in this project.
I rather want to be open to surprising olfactory experiences that we normally wouldn’t encounter in daily life. Omni-directional olfactory experience has been forgotten in our modern life, so reviving it is especially interesting. You can become convinced that human beings, much like dogs, have the ability to sniff around and navigate themselves using their sense of smell.
I try to exclude visual and audible aspects in my works as much as possible. I let the work explain itself rather than doing so in words. Instead smells and space communicate with your physical sensations, allowing you to project images and play sounds in the mind. I believe that smell possesses such power.

April 30th - The Smell of War
(exhibition continues to 31/08/2015)
De Lovie, Poperinge, Belgium
An exhibition to remember 100 years first gas attacks World War 1
The Smell of War will shed light on the first gas attacks in World War 1 and deals with the fascinating phenomenon of odour and thereby goes beyond the usual museum based form of experiencing art. International artists from the present day demonstrate that scent can really be context and /or concept of the work. Scents evoke memories and so also emotions and associations, but let the beholder also re-think and reflect about the context of the work. The exhibition begins with a historical representation of the first gas attacks. The main focus of the exhibition however lies on the olfactory artworks about gas attacks and chemical wars, as well as on the not-smelling aspect by protection of gas masks. So we also show works that smell of nothing at all and in which the odour is only conjured up by the visitor’s imagination, or translated as an odour through the image. The exhibition will be supplemented by a publication as well as a varied supporting program, consisting of guided tours, talks and workshops.
