“Teena’s Bathtime: Eau de Wet Dogge”
David Capra
12 Feb → 12 Mar 2016

Join David Capra and Teena the Dachshund for the Melbourne launch of Eau De Wet Dogge. This new fragrance celebrates the artist's dog's infamous bath time. Moist fur, soap suds and soil unite at the base to give this perfume a uniquely musky charm. Sour top notes of slobber and dog breath add alluring nuance. A new video advertisement starring the charismatic sausage dog will be presented in conjunction with the launch. A free dog wash will be available to the general public and their furry pals as well as perfume samples and alcoholic punch inspired by Teena's unforgettable fragrance.

Describing himself as an ‘intercessory artist’, David Capra looks at ways of prompting healing experiences for individuals and community. Capra explains, ‘ The more I think about healing, I think it entails facilitating projects that give people your undivided time. I think healing will occur in those circumstances.’

The official launch of Eau De Wet Dogge will be Tuesday 8 March from 5pm.

Is is also an extension of Teena’s Bathtime, a project commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia for the Jackson Bella Room.
