NEW PUBLICATION // Designed by Ella Dejaegher. Splash Résidu, a captivating publication delving into the fascinating world of residue aesthetics, created by The Mental Masonry Lab (TMML). Since its inception in 2014, TMML has fostered action and reflection in urban contexts, bringing together artists, designers, writers, scientists, and passers-by. At the heart of TMML’s ethos is a deep fascination with residue—a material both symbolic and tangible, existing on the fringes of control.

Navigating the threshold between disappearance and manifestation, TMML engages in explorations across streets, museums, and urban landscapes, gathering inspiration for spatial experiments and public encounters. This publication highlights their journey, revealing the creative insights gathered along the way. Splash Résidu transcends boundaries, fostering curiosity and sharing discoveries through drawing, writing, and exhibitions.

Voltolo is an exhibition offering a view on generous, collaborative, circular, experimental and forward-thinking educational adventures in contemporary graphic design.

Self-organized and collective, the projects presented here operate outside institutions or inside them, by transforming and reinventing them to directly accommodate educational needs.
Whether they operate from physical embodied locations or broadcasting from a dematerialized platform, these projects define contexts and offer tools for learning, emancipating and expanding graphic design as practice.

The pedagogical adventures introduced through these three chapters have in common the reinvention of education by prioritizing content and form, with a focus on experiencing and sharing. They create contexts for learning together, synchronizing theory and practice and broadcasting knowledge beyond the circle of their participants. Schools without schools, they emphasize generosity and the joy of learning over austerity and bureaucracy.

In turn, graphic design is understood as an open practice of research and transmission of information and poetry, materializing itself through a diversity of sensorial embodiments – whether they be made of or combined of image, text, gesture, sound, smell, taste or tactile elements.

There is an intention of reaching out, of carrying on, of sustaining and intriguing: an invitation is made to the audience to take part, to imagine, to expand. To gravitate around an infinite sphere of which the circumference is everywhere and the center nowhere.

NEW PUBLICATION // Designed by . This publication maps spatial experiences/wanderings through the city of Bucharest. Through photography, text, drawing, film and mixes of different media, the authors explore the mapping of (micro) situations witnessed in the city of Bucharest. The use of image and text forms a common thread across the contributions of the different authors: Alina Cristea draws from her research and practice Bucharest. The City with One Inhabitant. The City-Me, Mira Sanders brings in the act of drawing to represent/explore ways of spatial experiences, and Ileana Marin examines the creative power of wandering in the city of Bucharest through a selection of Romanian literary works.
The publication does not aim to give an exact representation of Bucharest, rather to make side notes of its city-ness and to what extent the authors’ actions reveal (or not) other features of the city, at a given time in this spatial context.

Inspired by Susan Sontag’s Notes on “Camp”, Stan Van Rompaey attempts to pe*****te the very essence of all things “camp”, the manifestations of camp past and present, and the critical appeal she reads in them. The climax of her research is the Post-Sontagian “Camp” Manifesto. The calls in the manifesto are as sincere as they are contrived, as personal as they are political, soaked in the so-called post-irony that the artist embraces as an inevitable condition of her generation. In her manifesto, she calls for a revolutionising of everyday life, the overturning of conventional categories and language systems associated with heteronormativity, the celebration of excess, the elimination of shame and guilt, for a rebellious hyper-awareness too, prompted by the realisation that no form of aesthetics is innocent, nor is its critique.

On November 18th, starting at 8 p.m. we will host an evening dedicated to an audience that celebrates and bespeaks reality with excess and hyperboles. This event will be nothing short of spectacle, albeit with offence and disgrace lurking around the corner! After all, as Graham Harman pointed out: “If we identify this event with ‘aesthetics’ in the broadest sense of the term, it becomes clear why first philosophy is aesthetics, not ethics.”

Act 1: Isolde Vanhee “Notes on Camp Cinema”

Act 2: Stan Van Rompaey in conversation with Saskia Smith
