Henrique Faria Fine Art presents A Laboratory of Cynical Perception, Oswaldo Maciá's second exhibition in New York City. Opening on September 13, the show will feature a selection of recent works on paper as well as aural-olfactory installations. Maciá presents the viewer with immersive experiences that engage the mind and senses, demonstrating the artist's interest in systems of perception and knowledge. His holistic approach is a visceral one: being that smell and sound exist outside of language, it is the body, rather than the intellect, that must mediate the situation. This process thus adds a personal and redolent element to the multiple and overlapping layers of scents and noises pervading the gallery space.
