ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive. It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope, its current move to radical_house, the research project Distraction As Discipline (2016 - 2019) and the process of OTÇOE - works for passers-by, a working trajectory (2013 and 2014).

radical_house is a long term project and has a threefold nature: it presents a physical place, a framework and a logic. When in 2013 teaching and mentoring became an extension of Langsdorf's artistic practices now radical_house stems from her pedagogical experience where 'being in dialogue' with others is her main principle.

Distraction As Discipline 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 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.

NOON in research residency

06-06-2022









NOON in research residency -- June 6 - 10 >>> check out their beautiful web space: www.haveyoueverbeenclose.com NOON is a young multidisciplinary collective that has created a series of performative installations originating from questions about other ways of being together. The collective is interested in events of entanglement between human and non-human actors, in a morphing of bodies, and in creating or rather discovering, some kind of symbiosis. For this year NOON is working to deepen their understanding of how to create a soft immersive space. In previous works, they have always worked in formats where the audience is scattered around in space, able to move around freely. They now feel the need to develop this playing together further and find new methods to invite the audience - to play, dance, and rest together. This research will unfold several tryouts during the year and is also the starting point for a new performative installation.
