It Smells Like Girl, co-organized by Jeffrey Deitch and Company Gallery, reconsiders the concept of female hysteria not as pathology but as a cultural expression of imposed fears and expectations. Through multiple mediums, artists confront emotional labor, societal control, and identity's contradictions. The exhibition embraces hysteria as resistance—where rupture, sensation, and excess become powerful tools to expose, question, and persist.
