✦内容简介——

对公共艺术团体 Smokehouse Associates 的开创性研究，其抽象作品在 20 世纪 60 年代末改变了纽约的哈莱姆社区

1968 年至 1970 年间，艺术家团体 Smokehouse Associates 用充满活力、面向社区的抽象壁画和雕塑改变了哈莱姆区。Smokehouse 由威廉-威廉姆斯（William T. Williams）创立，成员包括梅尔文-爱德华兹（Melvin Edwards）、盖伊-西亚西亚（Guy Ciarcia）和比利-罗斯（Billy Rose）。尽管在今天看来，"Smokehouse"的知名度相对较低，但它在规模、社区参与以及与建筑环境的互动方面却雄心勃勃。

《Smokehouse Associates》在该团体成立 50 多年后出版，首次对该团体的工作进行了批判性的审视。埃里克-布克（Eric Booker）介绍了该团体的历史概况；查尔斯-戴维斯二世（Charles Davis II）和詹姆斯-特雷纳（James Trainor）深入探讨了公共艺术、城市设计和建筑的背景历史；由阿什利-詹姆斯（Ashley James）主持的艺术家圆桌会议提出了批判性的反思。《Smokehouse Associates》拥有以前未曾出版的图片、简历和丰富的年表，是一本资料手册，扩展了对美国公共艺术和社会实践的叙述，将非洲裔艺术家的贡献包括在内。

A New York Times best art book of 2022

A groundbreaking study of the public art collective Smokehouse Associates, whose abstract works transformed New York’s Harlem community in the late 1960s

Between 1968 and 1970, the artist collective Smokehouse Associates transformed Harlem with vibrant, community-oriented abstract murals and sculptures. Established by William T. Williams and including Melvin Edwards, Guy Ciarcia, and Billy Rose, Smokehouse grew to encompass a range of creative practitioners united around the revolutionary potential of public art. Though relatively unknown today, Smokehouse was ambitious in its scale, community engagement, and interaction with the built environment.

Published over fifty years after the collective’s founding, Smokehouse Associates offers the first critical examination of the group’s work. Eric Booker provides a historical overview of the collective; Charles Davis II and James Trainor delve into contextual histories of public art, urban design, and architecture; and an artist roundtable moderated by Ashley James presents critical reflections. With previously unpublished images and ephemera and a rich chronology, Smokehouse Associates serves as a sourcebook that expands the narrative of public art and social practice in the United States to include the contributions of artists of African descent.
