Think Public Space
Episode 7: The architect and art in parking lots
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.
