Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Cabinet of Traces' is a collection of 73 traces that were left behind by various artists in residency at Air Antwerp from 2012 onwards. The traces presented in this publication form a diverse collection of objects, drawings, little art works, letters, and clothes. Likewise a catalogue of an ethnographic collection, this publication provides all standard technical details with each trace: material, dimensions, title and the artist who created it. Each trace bears its own story. 'The Cabinet of Traces' remembers these stories, while feeding new ones. Memories are constructions and the traces in the publi-cation form the basis from which these memories can be created. 'The Cabinet of Traces' is a tool that feeds the imagination. It will be passed on to future artists in residency in order to evoke a reaction. New artists will extend the collection.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 019 was never going to remain the only place we worked in. From the start, it's been a laboratory that swings us into unknown directions, constantly sharpening our sense of improvisation and reinvention on the spot. For three years, from 2013 onwards, we made that old welding factory at Dok Noord in Ghent the focal point of our activities. People even started to identify the entirety of our collective, Smoke & Dust, with what was basically only the name of its nineteenth project. We became 019. The whole project turned us upside down. But in doing so, we became aware as well. We understood that the act of occupying and taking possession of the site was not the goal of our work at all. From the inside out, starting with a wooden construction in its interior and up to the billboard at an outside wall and a series of flagpoles on the roof, we gradually developed the place into an assembly of undergrounds for public and artistic encounter, an emerging space for collaboration that was grounded on the premise that all media at our disposal were common grounds to be rediscovered. That's when the work began. That's when things began to move, for real. That's when we realized-artists, architects, designers and the like-we had all turned into scenographers, regardless of our discipline: co-authors of a scene that was constructed out of margins and constraints, participants in a game of give and take that we endlessly play around a display we like to recycle. In the end, that's how 019, our handling of its space through appropriation and dispossession, became the site of a moving practice, a collaborative way of working ready to be moved, reproduced and reinvented elsewhere.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Stien Bekaert's Nothing on the left is a carefully composed formal play with fragmentary photographs - from found footage to self-made images. Most of these photos would normally be doomed to disappear between the folds of time, if Stien Bekaert did not take care of them, and granted them a new life. Captivated by handicraft, Bekaert experiments with various printing techniques. She makes etchings, lithographs and monotypes, as well as riso, offset and transfer prints. Through manipulations - such as crops, transformations and blowups - Stien Bekaert deconstructs the images and creates distance. The compositions, the choice of materials and the meticulous assembling of loose sheets into a new narrative, no detail remains untouched. The main objective is to give the viewer a poetic viewing experience. At times lyrical and dreamy, at others uncanny or disquieting. Always ambiguous and permeated with an unfulfillable desire. Nothing on the left is a specific selection of silent scenes that evince a sensitivity for postures, imperfections, light, colour and texture. Striking is the attention, aside from the everyday anecdotal, to pure formal abstraction. From straying gestures and locks of hair to foamy water surfaces and seas of clouds. (Sofie Crabbé).…
