The taste room featured more than 90 Fornasetti plates showcasing a selection of the artist's 350 interpretations of a woman's face—easily the night's most Instagrammed set-up. Two oversize murals were applied to the former museum's walls while a table featured a pile of candy for emphasis.

Museum Tinguely, 19 February - 26 July 2020

"Amuse-bouche. The Taste of Art" is the third art experiment at Museum Tinguely, entering the world of the human senses. These play an essential role in the experience of art. Our perception is always multisensory and strongly influenced by indivual emotions and memories. Especially regarding the sense of taste, it often cannot be separated from the sense of smell or the sense of sight. "Amuse-bouche" focuses on the sense of taste and poses the question: Does art taste sweet, sour, bitter, salty, or even umami? What role does our sense of taste play as an artistic material and in our social interactions?

The group exhibition presents artworks by some forty-five international artists from the baroque to the present that explore our sense of taste as a dimension of aesthetic perception. Breaking with the usual museum practice of appealing primarily to the sense of sight, the show offers art-historical and phenomenological encounters with our sense of taste. Some of the works offer a participatory experience - during special guided tours and performances, the works themselves can be tasted (see event programme).

In traditional accounts of the senses, taste is predicated on direct physical contact. We perceive the world around us in all its diversity through the physical sensation of taste in the mouth and on the tongue. The exhibition at Museum Tinguely poses various questions concerning our many fields of taste-related experience: How do we perceive art made of foods and their specific nuances of taste? What happens when our mouth and tongue suddenly take centre stage in the art experience? Can artworks address the sense of taste even without direct physical contact to the viewer? Can gustatory experiences be described and translated into pictures? Can flavour serve as a medium of artistic expression and creativity?

Some of the works on display can be tasted during special guided tours and performances. On particular days, visitors can sample edible plants in the Hortus Deliciarum, an installation- and performance-based project by the Portuguese artist Marisa Benjamim, or the monumental participatory works made of gingerbread cookies by the Australian artist Elizabeth Willing. Sauerkraut juice labelled "Brine and Punishment" features in a large-scale installation by Slavs and Tatars, a Berlin-based artists' collective. This sharp-tasting power drink provides a sensory experience within the artist's philosophical engagement with the many-layered meanings and interpretations of fermentation and "going sour".

The show includes works by artists including Sonja Alhäuser, Farah Al Qasimi, Janine Antoni, Marisa Benjamim, Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, Pol Bury, Costantino Ciervo, Jan Davidsz. de Heem, Bea de Visser, Marcel Duchamp, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Urs Fischer, Fischli/Weiss, Karl Gerstner, Damien Hirst, Roelof Louw, Sarah Lucas, Opavivará!, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Cildo Meireles, Alexandra Meyer, Antonio Miralda-Dorothée Selz, Nicolas Momein, Anca Munteanu Rimnic, Otobong Nkanga, Emeka Ogboh, Dennis Oppenheim, Meret Oppenheim, Tobias Rehberger, Torbjørn Rødland, Dieter Roth, Roman Signer, Cindy Sherman, Shimabuku, Slavs and Tatars, Daniel Spoerri, Mladen Stilinović, Sam Taylor-Johnson, André Thomkins, Jorinde Voigt, Claudia Vogel, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Elizabeth Willing, Erwin Wurm, Rémy Zaugg.

The Art of Scent, commissioned by the Museum of Art and Design in New York, is among the first museum exhibitions in the world to focus on the olfactory arts. The design of perfume has been overlooked historically as a significant creative practice. Yet, over the last century, the advent of new technology has led to unprecedented materials and processes. As a result, fragrance design has evolved from a parochial craft to a global discipline. The Art of Scent, which traces this development, focuses on twelve pivotal scents. In order to address the sense of smell, rarely introduced in the museum environment, the design eliminates all reference to the visual materials typically associated with perfume, most notably packaging and advertisements. Visitors enter a seemingly empty white gallery punctuated by a series of twelve sculpted wall alcoves. They are invited to lean into the wall, triggering the release of a scented stream of air; in addition to scent, the organic wall surface pulses with sound and ghostly text projections. A second smaller gallery offers a more social environment: a 13' glass table anchors the room and supports 24 suspended vessels featuring the same twelve works in liquid form. Here, visitors are given the opportunity to compare and discuss their olfactory experiences, and to learn about the process of creating a fragrance. The Art of Scent, developed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Curator Chandler Burr, was exhibited in 2012.
