< br />\n

From Bernini&rsquo\;s tactile Rape of Proserpina to Rirkrit Tiravanija&rsquo\;s dinin g installations\, artists have always considered how their works might eng age the viewer&rsquo\;s senses beyond merely the visual. Material culture and decorative arts have historically acted as conduits for sensory intera ctions\, especially within interior spaces both secular and religious. Sch olars of architecture have specifically considered how the acoustics of th e built environment affected and enhanced the beholder&rsquo\;s experience within structures. The study of performances and processions has offered a rich site of interrogation into historical encounters with scent\, perfu me\, and incense in ritualistic or celebratory contexts. In this issue\, w e aim to gather scholarship that pushes beyond the visual realm to conside r how reconstructing multi-sensory and ephemeral encounters across media c an augment our interpretation of art history. \; \;
