THE MENTAL MASONRY LAB is an artistic project of Cédric Noël and Mira Sanders that invites the spectator to reflect on public space through exercises of the imagination. It is a practice in constituting a space.

THE MENTAL MASONRY LAB resulted from a question:

how can we develop a tactic that would allow our imagination to blossom when faced with the preponderance of those urban signs intended for collective use?

The 2-Day WORKSHOP

- shares experiences and experiments that we made during a work residency at Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik in Berlin

 - constitutes spaces

 - walks in the city of Brussels

 - delineates tactics used and explored in the gathering of material in the city  

- reflects on the notion of the representation of the city 

- tests the lab as an instrument to scale down, reflect, share, explore, draw out abductive perspectives,...

 - emphasizes the role of the making in the process of the representation 

- considers the imagination as a potential for a shared territory

 - proposes to imagine and build mentally exercises

 - takes different rhythms and instructions to explore different paths in the Mental Masonry Lab 

- asks to uncover (new) strata living in the project
