Currently on view at New Galerie, Paris is “New Flavors and Fragrances,” a solo exhibition by Sean Raspet.  The exhibition embodies multiple threads of abstraction, from the systematization of artificial flavors within the pre-existing paradigm of industrial production to a non-mimetic idea of scent perception and molecular structure rooted in the material specificity of substances. Raspet’s research into functional perfumery and the flavor and fragrance industry––is an ongoing aspect of his focus on the underlying materiality of abstract systems, which have included financialization, legal administration, and data processing.

“New Flavors and Fragrances” is on view through May 31, 2014.
