Listen now
Description
Award-winning artist and historian Tasha Marks has been exploring the relationship between art and the senses with @avmcuriousities through extraordinary scented artworks, installations and events since 2011. From recreating the scent of ancient Roman rituals, enhancing the experiences of the visually impaired on an architectural tour, evoking the smells of Queen Victoria’s dinners and making ‘strike and sniff wallpaper’, patrons include the Royal Academy of Arts, Victoria & Albert Museum, The National Gallery, The British Museum and most recently, creating the @libertylondon ‘Noseum’.  We’re delighted to have Tasha as a guest this week - and we’ll be taking a deep dive into her life, how she makes artistic inspirations a sniffable reality, and the fragrances she likes to wear outside of an exhibition setting… On Tasha’s website, there are brilliant descriptions photographs, and sound files of her work; plus you can sign up for her newsletter to hear about forthcoming artworks, installations and events:  https://www.avmcuriosities.com During the episode we mention: @perfumerh - Lyn Harris’ fragrance house, which Tasha got to know @libertylondon and has fallen madly for! (Suzy also mentions Perfumer H Ink, which she was finally paired with at a recent consultation in Liberty’s Fragrance Lounge) The Forest Bathing Institute @tfb_institute @calvinklein CK ONE @valentino.beauty V by Valentino  @versace Blue Jeans @laboratoryperfumes Samphire  Don’t forget, you can meet Tasha and hear much more about her career, ask her your own questions, and get to experience the Liberty Noseum first hand (or nose!) on the evening of April 11, when Suzy @fragrantmaven is hosting an Art & Fragrance conversation with Tasha!  Tickets available here: https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/events/Fragrance-Fine-Art-Event.html Tickets also linked in our bio, and in our Events highlights on Instagram @onthescentpodcast
