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.

InCompany - The Art of Working on Togetherness
(voor Nederlands scroll naar beneden!)
The InCompany art project invites you to a mobile worker’s club for employees, working for globally active companies.
This club is inspired and informed by the designs and ideas of Alexander Rodchenko’s “Workers' Club”, exhibited in Paris in 1925, and is taken further into our contemporary reality.
It offers employees the possibility to step outside their direct working environment and let go of the control-mechanisms, (characterizing even the best functioning companies,) in order to develop other and new perspectives on their individual work situation.
In this chill-out place, there is room for play, conversation and reflection about work, personal relations and the broader economy we are all operating in.
If wished, participation can be anonymous.
Besides drinks and snacks, a specific dream-environment for letting your thoughts go and interact with others, is provided. InCompany offers various artistic practices in order to efficiently get lost into seeing and re-inventing the world from-out different angles.

Het artistiek project InCompany nodigt U uit in zijn mobiele workers' club voor werknemers, actief in globaal opererende bedrijven.
Deze club haalt haar inspiratie uit de ontwerpen en ideeën van Alexander Rodchenko's "Workers' Club" tentoongesteld in Parijs in 1925.
Zij biedt werknemers de mogelijkheid om buiten hun werkomgeving en daardoor los van de controlemechanismen, (die zelfs de best functionerende bedrijven kenmerken,) andere perspectieven te ontwikkelen op hun individuele werksituatie. In deze chill-out plek is ruimte voor spel, gesprek en reflectie over werk, persoonlijke relaties en bredere economische issues.
U kan er -indien gewenst- anoniem aan deelnemen.
De club biedt drankjes en hapjes aan, en een droomomgeving waarin U uw gedachten kan loslaten en met anderen in interactie kan treden. InCompany biedt een waaier aan artistieke praktijken aan die U in staat stellen om op een efficiënte manier als het ware verloren te lopen en de wereld zo van andere invalshoeken te bekijken en te herdenken.
