In Brussels, we share a two story former electronics workshop with several artists and collectives. The studio functions as a shared workspace where research and practices can be woven together. The building consists of two floors of each ca. 150m2. The ground floor is used collectively for internal or external (group) residencies, workshops, meetings, prototyping and production. The downstairs floor has (almost) step free access and includes a kitchen, tool storage, spacious garden with fruit trees, and a shed for woodwork.

The first floor is inhabited by artists, collectives and researchers working around technology, visual arts, architecture, textile and urban space: Agnes Villette, Alexander Marinus, Common room (Rachel Himmelfarb), Constant, Vereniging voor Kunst en Media, Diego Echegoyen, Jimena Perez Salerno, Marius Escande, Martino Morandi, Peter Westenberg, Sarah Illouz, Sina Seifee, Wouter de Raeve & Fourthirty-one Collective.

Access

Mobility:

• If you are arriving by car, there are two accessible parking spots further on the Chaussée de Jette / Jetsesteenweg after the roundabout. The closest underground parking in the vicinity is on 513 Rue Léopold I / Leopold I-straat, 13 min distance from Constant’s studio.
• If you arrive by public transport, there is a lift in the metro-station Simonis / Elisabeth.
• Our studio’s street, Chaussée de Jette / Jetsesteenweg is a one direction street, crossed by cars, bikes, steps and passers-by. It can be busy and noisy at times, but the studio occupies the back of the building so it is quite quiet.

Space:

• Our studio is located in an old building with few facilities for wheelchairs. The front blue door is very large, but the hallway is very narrow and the studio entrance may be not suitable for every kind of wheelchair (82 cm width). There is a small ramp in front of the entrance door to the studio to facilitate the access.
• A wheelchair accessible toilet is available on the ground floor with a door width of 75 cm. Although accessible, the toilet do not comply yet to the PMR standard toilets.
• In the toilet there is a table that can be use to changing diapers for babies.
• The floor is made of old industrial stones and quite uneven.
• The garden is not yet accessible due to a small threshold in the doorway.
• The upper floor is only accessible through stairs. There is no elevator in the building.
• We have some office chairs, but mostly sturdy benches and chairs without armrests.

Sensory setting:

• The space has various light conditions, but we do not use strobe or laser lights unless explicitly stated.
• We do not have a noise analyser but the noise level does not usually exceed that of a room full of people. We do not play loud music or other loud noises, unless explicitly stated.

Air quality:

• The studio has big windows on both side and a large garden, and we ventilate it via open windows. We do not have a CO2 monitor or a mask mandate.
• The temperature inside is around 20 degrees, but, since we ventilate through open doors, it can easily drop and feel quite cold at times.

The description of the collective space is based on guidelines edited by Constant. It came into being thanks to Phoebe Tickner, Sins Invalid, Autisme Centraal, Transemble, Misha Verdonck, Le poisson sans bicyclette, Les dévalideuses and many other activists who fight for disability justice, and who generously share their knowledge and skills with a broader audience.
