Pamela Rosenkranz (*1979) rose to prominence with a conceptual practice that encompasses sculpture, video, installation and painting. Her work questions the subjective element in the apprehension of an artwork, shifting the viewer’s focus toward the material, biochemical and neurological determinants of human behavior. Dubious of a worldview that places human beings at the center of the natural and material universe, the Zurich-based artist has also collaborated with thinkers from the broad philosophical movement known as speculative realism.

Odor. Immaterial Sculptures
Group Exhibition
Ferdinandeum, Tiroler Landesmuseum, Innsbruck
Through October 8, 2023
Odor has an immediate effect. Odors awaken feelings, moods and memories in us. They overlay other senses and influence our perception more strongly than we realize. Scents create closeness and distance. They inscribe themselves in our memory and consolidate our experiences. Yet their existence in space remains invisible and the act of smelling fleeting. The exhibition Odor. Immaterial Sculptures at the Ferdinandeum is entirely dedicated to the power of smells. It brings together works that place smell as an olfactory and spatial experience at the center of the experience of art.
