ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive. It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope, its current move to radical_house, the research project Distraction As Discipline (2016 - 2019) and the process of OTΗOE - works for passers-by, a working trajectory (2013 and 2014).

radical_house is a long term project and has a threefold nature: it presents a physical place, a framework and a logic. When in 2013 teaching and mentoring became an extension of Langsdorf's artistic practices now radical_house stems from her pedagogical experience where 'being in dialogue' with others is her main principle.

Distraction As Discipline 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 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.

The room at the end of the corridor at TramZwart was declared the research room of the 40 months research Distraction as Discipline *.

What kind of room allows for being open irregularily, on appointment or once in a while with an announced programme, always with the purpose of accommodating concentrated and focused presence AND unexpected influences, by allowing others to 'disturb'?

Conversation Room 0.1 became a free study place for dis/connecting with a thing, 'oneself' or others.

It was launched in June 2017! >>>

this space is never locked, but you can block its doors with the corresponding part of its floor-puzzle from inside.

this space is as public as a house for prayer and as fragile as a home,
