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

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. ...).
