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.

CODISCO: future steps
In 2021, three editions of CODISCO took place at radical_house. Codisco is a format initiated by SPIN in xx, that radical_house decided to take care of. After this experience, we - at radical_house - decided to report on it to its initiators together with the question: what’s next?
Here you find our and SPIN reflections on CODISCO, and above all the possibility to hand it to other organisations or organise it again in the next future. In the meantime, two artists who participated in the three editions showed interest in organising and curating new editions. More about this soon through our channels and here the (revised and updated) CODISCO READER. <<<
