ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive. It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope, its current move to radical_house, the research project Distraction As Discipline (2016 - 2019) and the process of OTÇOE - works for passers-by, a working trajectory (2013 and 2014).

radical_house is a long term project and has a threefold nature: it presents a physical place, a framework and a logic. When in 2013 teaching and mentoring became an extension of Langsdorf's artistic practices now radical_house stems from her pedagogical experience where 'being in dialogue' with others is her main principle.

Distraction As Discipline 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 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.

SHOP SHOP Group Talk V

10-07-2013 [• shop shop • economy ]
This summer meeting at Raquel Santana de Morais' place is dedicated to the creation of two online tools in order to keep the research alive during this vacation moment. These tools are also a means to keep track of everything that is being searched. 
Although yet quite abstract, very changeable and basic, they help constructing and visualizing the shop's routine more concretely.

Tool 1 is the SHOP SHOP map:
the places falling under consideration are marked, information (conditions, organisations that can help
us) and photos can be added.

Tool 2 is the SHOP SHOP calendar:
here we will schedule a proto-week.
The idea of a proto-week is it to simulate how the different aspects and interests can be co-existing, (be it paralell, merging, complementing etc. ...).
