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.
Resonating Knowledges
1 - 10 October: radical_house
Residency: Irene Lehmann
Writing residency by Irene Lehmann, theatre and performance studies scholar, author and dramaturge, in the framework of a larger research project, titled „Resonating Knowledges“. In the residency she will explore questions that emerge in interdisciplinary research settings she has been a part of, such as ’through practices…’ (with Heike Langsdorf and others, KASK Gent) or ‚On the fragility of Sounds‘ (with Pia Palme and others, KUG Graz). The aim of the residency is to explore these questions and resonances between different research practices through a series of performative writing experiments.
