Lisa Kirk: Revolution!, THIS FRIDAY

We found an opening event that's definitely worth sniffing out...

SmartSpaces is pleased to present:

Lisa Kirk: Revolution!

Opening Night, Friday, May 7, 5:30 to 8 p, 1133 Broadway, between 25th and 26th Streets

Lisa Kirk's new installation Revolution! inverts our perception of reality and addresses the marketing of transgressive political and social practices.  Through interviews with anonymous journalists, activists, and political radicals, Lisa Kirk developed the original Revolution! fragrance based on their olfactory memories of revolution. She crafted the final scent to evoke the odors of smoke, gasoline, tear gas, burnt rubber and decaying flesh, packaged in limited edition as a precious metal pipe bomb.

The installation features an upside-down fragrance lab and anarchist hideout in one window, and a ransacked store display in the other. SmartSpces' signage and free cell phone audio guides provide passersby instant access to information about the work and the space, generously donated by Kew Management.

On display through June 1 in the windows of 1133 Broadway, between 25th and 26th Street.
