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.

"We come and have all kind of things in our bags, there is no ideal environment for hands-on: hands move, from thing to thing, every day, we don’t pause nor wonder why. People migrate, from country to country, every day, often with great effort and against their will."

During three hours Heike Langsdorf and Ernst Maréchal are literally busy with finger exercises for Un/Settled Residency. They try voicing something belonging to this movement (difficult to discuss) by approaching things as bodily as we can.

“We arriveren en hebben vanalles in onze zakken, er is geen ideale omgeving voor ‘hands-on’: Handen bewegen, van ding naar ding, elke dag, we staan er niet bij stil. Mensen migreren, van land naar land, elke dag, vaak moeizaam en tegen hun wil.”


Gedurende drie uur zie je Heike Langsdorf en Ernst Maréchal letterlijk bezig met vingeroefeningen voor Un/Settled Residency. Ze zijn op zoek naar verschillende praktijken om ‘te grote’ thema’s bespreekbaar te maken door ze zo veel mogelijk te belichamen.
