For three years, from 2013 onwards, the Smoke & Dust collective made an old welding factory in Ghent the focal point of their activities, a laboratory that launched its members into unknown directions, constantly sharpening their sense of improvisation and reinvention. more We understood that the act of occupying and taking possession of the site was not the goal of our work at all. This publication is a continuation of their work, with essays by Jan De Vylder, Prem Krishnamurthy, and Tom Van Imschoot, a photo essay by Michiel De Cleene, and new work by Tauba Auerbach, Experimental Jetset, Braulio Amado, Fiona Banner, Dexter Sinister, Filip Dujardin, and others.
