How do we perceive the space around us every day? How do streets, squares, parks, and the city influence our own nature? Since 2014, Mira Sanders and Cédric Noël have been behind the artistic collective The Mental Masonry Lab, a research laboratory that places the imagination at the very core of experiments and reflections articulated around public space and urban constructions.

The phenomenal park

 

The Mental Masonry Lab operates according to a specific method structured around three stages. Firstly, there is observation: the exploration of urban space as a wanderer – meandering as a form of marvelling. Secondly, they approach the archiving of elements and impressions as a constantly evolving dynamic process. Finally, The Mental Masonry Lab considers the laboratory as a training field where the imagination can be combined with concrete things, with facts.

Using a sober scenography reminiscent of a city or park plan, The Phenomenal Park compiles more than 100 objects and ideas. In addition to a selection of works produced by the duo in Berlin, the exhibition primarily features work from projects developed in Brussels and Leuven. To this end, Mira Sanders & Cédric Noël have worked hand-in-hand with some forty international master's students from the Faculty of Architecture Campus Sint-Lucas, KULeuven.

Without providing any actual instructions, The Phenomenal Park offers visitors a range of playing rules. The dozens of sound and audio-visual found objects, graphic pieces, etc., all play on the phenomenology and our psychology of perception that we have to mentally activate. Sometimes almost surrealistically or absurdly, The Phenomenal Park brims over with playful, often humorous proposals. While The Phenomenal Park translates everyday objects into new imaginary opportunities, the exhibition encourages us to reflect on the very different codes that shape public space throughout the world.
