die hard skateboarders – bumps and holes covered by metal – then concrete -you’re already skating in your head – away from home – dread weather conditions – can dry fast or take the whole night – stick together as one – no one else wants it as good as we do – forget about the plans – we’ll be the first ones to skate it anyway…

BRUSK Collective
The Brusk Collective is a group from Belgium of action and of reflection on themes bound to the practice of skateboarding. It promotes its activities with the methodology of a collective organization, implicating the youth at all levels of decisions and executions of different projects. “The common goals are to develop initiatives to skateboard culture in urban and semi-integrated urban environments.”

This exhibition “Concrete Idea” consists of a spatial working in Zweite.OG, Salzstr. 27 by the local skaters and the Brusk construction crew :

Mike Vanderhouderaa and Benoit Moureau (skateparks and furniture with recycled materials builders – www.ConcreteFlow.be – www.collectif-blend.be)
Stéphane Thonnard (Skatepark builder and local activist)
Geronimo (work field food chef and illustrator)
Barna (Welding expert, photography and taxidermia)

A fanzine on the building process will be made and sold at the exhibit in Basementizid, where a documentation of the previous work of the collective will be shown. Photography by Ian Dykmans with illustrations from the construction crew.
