ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive: It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope & radical_house and holds documentation of the research projects Distraction As Discipline and OTÇOE - works for passers-by.
radical_hope (since 2010) creates and holds frameworks for artistic research/es & co-creation/s.
radical_house (since 2020), next to being a long term project on notions of ownership, privacy and privilege, provides a physical place in Brussels: here people can tempralrily cohabit with the permanent users of the house in order to work, rest or find shelter.
Distraction As Discipline (2015 - 2019) is
an investigation into enactivist principles in art and education
(research trajectory at KASK School
of Arts Ghent 2016-19). It considers the potential of performance art and
pedagogy in general, in resisting the current and massive
desubjectivation, by critically reclaiming both, attention for the moment and participation in a process.
OTÇOE - works for passers-by (2012 - 2014) was the development of radical_hope's artistic practice in the city and questioned how and by whom this practice (and its bodily, social and economical aspects) is perceived. The title refers to the public of a city and to how we encounter and register most things on our way through the city: Out of The Corner of Our Eyes. OTÇOE.

[EN] BEAUTY KIT POP UP SHOP & ABDUCTIONS is an eco-erogenous installation by Isabel Burr Raty.
“After continuous and intensive farming, BEAUTY KIT eco-erogenous para-pharmaceutics opens the very first Beauty Kit Shop at nOdine projectroom!
Through this experiment, we invite you to discover the range of bio-products and test them by enjoying the benefits of beauty abduction treatments, designed to address your core skin and care philosophies.
By purchasing a BK product, for yourself or for your beloved one/s, you will contribute to the circular model of this project and its orgasmic cause.”
BEAUTY KIT is an ongoing art project by Isabel Burr Raty, a hands-on research into the human body as a territory for sustainable agri-culture, within an orgasmic bio-transaction economy model. The BK mobile Farm will soon evolve into becoming a village, and serves as a research laboratory where human bodies are harvested to produce the BK products. Through a playful, embodied and participatory art practice, BEAUTY KIT tackles questions on ecology and exploitation, sexuality and agency.
