Smell experience

Guided by your nose in cities, design and urban planning experienced in a deeper way.
The city enters yours while breathing. And when you open your mouth, your smell is actually solicited too.
Nicola Twilley talks with Victoria Henshaw about fragrances and cities:

Enter and be damned! HELL's CAFE, PARIS







MARAIS
Hell's Swells

A hot spot called Hell's Café lured 19th-century Parisians to the city's Montmartre neighborhood—like the Marais—on the Right Bank of the Seine. With plaster lost souls writhing on its walls and a bug-eyed devil's head for a front door, le Café de l'Enfer may have been one of the world's first theme restaurants. According to one 1899 visitor, the café's doorman—in a Satan suit—welcomed diners with the greeting, "Enter and be damned!" Hell's waiters also dressed as devils. An order for three black coffees spiked with cognac was shrieked back to the kitchen as: "Three seething bumpers of molten sins, with a dash of brimstone intensifier!"

General Idea Sushi Plate




NOTE : En ce moment au Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris magnifique rétrospective.
Commissariat : Frédéric Bonnet and Odile Burluraux.

GENERAL IDEA
Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal ,– both
dead in 1994 – and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic
identity that "freed it from the tyranny of individual genius". Their
complex intermingling of reality and fiction took the form of a
scathing, transgressive and often parodic take on art and society.
Treating the image as a virus infiltrating every aspect of the real
world, General Idea set out to colonise it, modify its content and so
come up with an alternative version of reality.
