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 OTΗOE - 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.

OTΗOE - 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. OTΗOE.

CO-CONSTRUCTED CONVERSATIONS

BUREAU ANNEX Evaluation Barbecue

29-06-2013 [• bureau annex • making images ]

The collaborators of Bureau Annex I meet and discuss how they will proceed after having made the performance and video work Back Again for the Trouble Festival at Les Halles in Brussels (24-27/04/2013). [read more here]

Will they continue working together? How exactly? Will everyone have an equal say on the level of the artistic content? Or will the group choose for constantly shifting hierarchies, based on specific individual skills and desires? What kind of artistic practice will arise from this collaboration? Could the group transform into a small production unit, maybe a kind of theatre company? Does it need professionalization?
