Think Public Space
(Dutch version below)
Think Public Space is a podcast platform exploring the relationship between art, architecture, and public space through sound, voice, and situated experiences.
The first series, Think Tank: Experiencing Art in Public Space (Season 1, in English), grew out of a series of in-situ workshops across Belgium, bringing together students, architects, artists, and researchers to collectively reflect on how artistic processes and public space shape one another.
The podcast has since evolved into new formats. With the series Luisteren naar Gebouwen (Listening to Buildings) (Season 2, in Dutch), the focus shifts towards architectural narratives, exploring buildings through sound, memory, and lived experience.

Think Public Space is een podcastplatform dat de relatie tussen kunst, architectuur en de openbare ruimte onderzoekt via geluid, stem en ervaringen ter plaatse.
De eerste reeks, Think Tank: Experiencing Art in Public Space (seizoen 1, in het Engels), ontstond uit een reeks workshops op locatie in heel België, waarbij studenten, architecten, kunstenaars en onderzoekers samenkwamen om na te denken over hoe artistieke processen en de openbare ruimte elkaar vormgeven.
De podcast evolueerde sindsdien naar nieuwe formats. Met de reeks Luisteren naar Gebouwen (seizoen 2, in het Nederlands), een podcastreeks van Angelique Campens en Raf Enckels, verschuift de aandacht naar architecturale verhalen, gebouwen verkend via geluid, herinnering en geleefde ervaring.

Welcome to our podcast series, Think Tank Sessions: On Experiencing Art in Public Space. This podcast emerges from engaging workshops conducted across various Belgian locations.
Have you ever considered parking lots as spaces for artworks? Today, I am taking you to the parking garages in Brussels, exploring them as platforms for artistic possibilities. Inspired by the innovative thinking of urban visionaries Charlie Depauw and Claude De Clercq in 1966, who collaborated with artist/architect Jacques Moeschal to transcend traditional art spaces, we explore how art can transform parking lots into unconventional art galleries. Accompanying us on this journey is architect Wim Goes and a team of thoughtful students as we engage in a lively brainstorming session. Together, we reflect on the important role of art in public spaces. Along our path, we discover contemporary examples that awaken inspiration and examine how spaces like parking lots can evolve into dynamic platforms for integrating artworks.
