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.

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?
