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.

The third CASC at KASK worksession -- (collaborating with the Conservatory) -- was and still is obviously expanding its initial form(at) ... it becomes House of Ear, an immersive and interactive sound installationcurated by David Helbich configured in this context together with Joris Blancaert.

Een productie van GAME (Ghent Advanced Master Ensemble)
en CASC@KASK (research trajectory / Heike Langsdorf 2016-19).


Gecureerd door David Helbich

Concept: David Helbich & Joris Blanckaert

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." 
(Audre Lorde, dichter en activist)
 
The House of Ear is het klinkende equivalent van een detox kuur, een workshop ‘zelfzorg door het gebruik van je oren’. Michel Foucault’s concept van de ‘zorg voor het zelf’ maar ook instagrambeelden van komkommerschijfjes, voorzien van hashtags zoals #selfcare, #selfcaresunday en #metime treden in verbinding met esthetische expressie.
Voor de gelegenheid tovert GAME de artiestenloges van De Bijloke om tot akoestische behandelkamers. Daar ontvangen de muziekmakers van GAME u met de nodige ironie en ernst.
