The John Michael Kohler Arts Center (JMKAC) will debut Emily Endo: Estuary , a new exhibition by artist Emily Endo (they/them), on view from February 7 through August 16, 2026. Endo’s largest exhibition to date, Estuary marks JMKAC’s first scent-focused exhibition, inviting visitors into a multisensory experience that explores the body and perception. Endo is known for intricate glass sculptures that reference vascular systems, organic structures, and the porous boundaries between bodies and environment. In Estuary , they expand this practice by integrating scentwith sculptural forms, engaging visitors through both sight and smell. The exhibition challenges conventional modes of looking, encouraging audiences to experience art through embodied and sensory awareness. “Emily Endo’s work asks us to reconsider how meaning is formed through the senses,” said Chava. Krivchenia, Assistant Curator at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center . “By aligning scent alongside sculpture, Estuary creates intuitive ways of engaging with art.” Smell plays a central role in the exhibition. Closely tied to memory and emotion, scent has the power to transport, influence mood, and reshape perception.
