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.

... Through Practices - a three day practice space
28/29/30 Oct 2019
… THROUGH PRACTICES
is a research environment hosted by a group of artists, inviting you to meet a selection of their practices.
The schedule of this three-day gathering allows you to indulge into a selection of artistic protocols for doing and scores for conversation and reflection.
The goal is to present artistic practices in such a way that they could be acknowledged as practices of research.
We gather at KASK - school of arts HOGENT and welcome you to explore the relationship between artistic practices and research.
Artistic practitioners perform personal working practices, adapted for this occasion, so that you can witness them or even join in.
In doing so they 'show' how it is possible to think ... through practices.
*** Soon more details and directions on how to take part, pass-by, inscribe etc. ***
With Bilal Kamilla Arnout, Alex Arteaga, Klaas Devos, Laetitia Gendre, Heike Langsdorf, Anouk Llaurens, Irene Lehmann, Lilia Mestre, Miriam Rohde and Fransien van der Putt.
[… Through Practices will figure as part of Langsdorf’s closure of the research trajectory Distraction as Discipline (2016 - 2019 Langsdorf & Luyten) and at the same time as the beginning of a new proposition for artistic research (2019 - 2022 Langsdorf & Arteaga) at KASK - school of arts HOGENT.]
