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.

newsletter III & seasonal reflections

01-12-2021









# hello — for a first time or once more!


Next to mentioning what happens in and through radical_house, this newsletter also brings you to two documents, by May Abnet and Ernst Maréchal, on CODISCO: a co-learning space/practice by SPIN, foster-parented by House of Practices during the last season.
Furthermore we share four book / movie references this fall, and the text ‘Cost/s of Living’: a bundle of observations, made after one year of working in and through this physical place.
>>> seasonal reflections

radical_house presents both a physical place in Brussels and a long term project with the mission to challenge notions of ownership and privacy. How can ‘just another house’ in the city become a relational tool? Who / what makes place for whom / what?
