Disclosing Practices | 2022
How to perceive and activate a published book series as an opportunity for continued practicing?
How to approach books as co-practitioners in ongoing processes of sense-making instead of as completed and concluded containers of knowledge?
These questions were posed during the launch of the book series Choreography as Conditioning *** (eds. Alex Arteaga and Heike Langsdorf) in 2021.
The tentative answer is Disclosing Practices..., an open series of workshops, retreats, dialogues, performances and public presentations supporting artistic research practices to be uncovered, revisited, reconsidered, rediscovered, disrupted, re-iterated, re-activated, shared, shown and understood anew in new contexts, and by new practitioners.
Each "disclosure" conceives, identifies and mobilizes suitable formats, durations, locations, structures and practitioners for generating and offering conditions for one practice to be opened up, revealed, unveiled, displayed, demonstrated, exposed or unfolded.
Works inscribing themselves in the context of Disclosing Practices... up until now are >>> With Eyes Closed I See [2024 at *rile / Brussels] by Emilie Gallier, Nina Boas and Nienke Terpsma,
>>> Unfixing the Atlas [2014 at KIOSK / Ghent] by radical_hope / Heike Langsdorf (2024) and >>> Tremor, ritual for oblivion (2025 at Buda / Kortrijk) by Anouk Llaurens.
Further "Disclosures" are exspected by Fransien van der Putt and Alex Arteaga.As a framework by radical_hope Disclosing Practices gives a concrete space and time to dedicate to (artistic) practice research.
