As a contribution to the Open Laboratory, we temporarily activated a common space in the parking space of the Academy at Blindestraat. 

We perform Cum-Panis to prepare food together with the participant and we perform the Gelatinografo to print on location. On this occasion, we used for the first time a Living equipment – Mapping Tool specifically made to map the threshold space of Antwerp. 

These tools were used to open conversation about the potential of so-called “liminal places”. 

During the “Open Laboratory Weeks”, we create situations to share knowledge around the following questions: How can we use liminal places for diverse and heterogeneous urban practices? How can we as artists and citizens reclaim them as public spaces?
