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.

Monday / August 5 — a try-out at TAZ / sectordag - invited by recto-verso
What’s a Vision ? — WE ARE ALWAYS ALREADY PRACTICING *
... a score for visualisations in group, not the production of one singular vision.
A series of mental steps which we might become able to live very soon.
It will take a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 10 years of your time.
Guided by Elowise Vandenbroecke & Heike Langsdorf
* Associating with Althusser's central thesis claiming that "you and I are always already subjects”
