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 With previously unpublished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
