The unique version of History of a People will be on view in Ether: Aromatic Mythologies at Craft Contemporary, Los Angeles. The exhibition will also present an interactive installation of the scents used for the book.
Ether examines the confluence of storytelling, identity, and scent by delving into ancient, modern, personal, or entirely invented mythologies. Thirteen olfactory artworks on show seek to explain our most fundamental understanding of ourselves, and how scent can impact systems of meaning in relation to the inexplicable, the historical, or the unknown.
Ether is the first in a series of exhibitions on view in 2025 presented by Craft Contemporary that interpret the varied interactions between craft and the natural elements: air, water, earth, and fire. Ether coincides with Scent Week Los Angeles. Events include scent related exhibitions, workshops, open houses, panel discussions, and experiences.
A free Exhibition Preview & Artist Meet and Greet is scheduled for Saturday, May 31 from 6 - 8 pm. Ether is on view May 30, 2025 — September 7, 2025
