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.

CO-CONSTRUCTED CONVERSATIONS

On Compassion & Resistance

20-09-2015
ON COMPASSION AND RESISTANCE
 
Vrijstaat O. (Ostend) and the Art Triennial Beaufort ‘Beyond Borders’ (edition V), with the cooperation of Stroom (The Hague) and deBuren.
 
Artists, researchers, scientists, writers, opinion makers, architects, urban planners, craftsmen and master-students are invited to participate in a challenging six-day residency at the coast. In this ‘splendid isolation’, we want to think together, take action and share knowledge within a group of approximately twenty people. This temporary community will develop ideas and actions, and also be challenged by other thinkers and doers to transmit and share their knowledge. This thematic ‘research residency’ is the ‘pilot’ in a long-term research project centered in a new location for international artist residencies at the Raversyde domain (Ostend), which will open in September 2016.
