Olfactory Sampler: Adolescent Brains is a workshop facilitated by Megan Hepburn based on Banana Dust, her solo exhibition at Spare Room.
Themes around childhood and nostalgia will be relayed to map a smell-memory-chain, opening up wider discussions to various methodologies around the relationship between smells and memory-based storytelling.
Participants will be invited to bring with them a memory of a smell, or experience to do with a fragrance or odour from their childhoods, from teen years or earlier.
Please bring pen+notebook
Snacks served.

002: Lecture Series – An Alternative Evolution
In conjunction with Zebulon Zang’s current exhibition Modes of Traveling at Spare Room, 221A will be hosting a symposium on the relationship between the psychedelic experience and virtual reality through Environment Sampling; an archival and research-based project as part of spare room’s regular programming.
The evening will consist of a lecture originally by Terence McKenna concerning the relationship between psilocybin and the early development of the primate brain. This lecture will be delivered by Zebulon Zang, followed by an open discussion period with Sung Pil Yoon.
Environment Sampling maintains lucid dialogue through mediums that resemble performances, lectures and documentation. Its name signifies research based outside the exhibition space and functions as a point of interest further expanding on the mandate of spare room.
