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.

NOON in research residency

06-06-2022









NOON in research residency -- June 6 - 10 >>> check out their beautiful web space: www.haveyoueverbeenclose.com NOON is a young multidisciplinary collective that has created a series of performative installations originating from questions about other ways of being together. The collective is interested in events of entanglement between human and non-human actors, in a morphing of bodies, and in creating or rather discovering, some kind of symbiosis. For this year NOON is working to deepen their understanding of how to create a soft immersive space. In previous works, they have always worked in formats where the audience is scattered around in space, able to move around freely. They now feel the need to develop this playing together further and find new methods to invite the audience - to play, dance, and rest together. This research will unfold several tryouts during the year and is also the starting point for a new performative installation.
