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.

… Through Practices is a three day practice space that presents the principles of thinking through artistic practices.
30, 31 October / Domzaal / Vooruit -- Gent
Mount Tackle (Revisited) is a work for the theatre space applying these same principles.
Both are frameworks of inquiring artistic research practices.
... Through Practices — A Three Day Practice Space
Developed as a constellation of artistic research practices, the space makes participants both witnesses and movers. Doing and thinking, witnessing and moving happens all the time regardless of where we are. ... Through Practices attempts to concretise and collectivise these states in the form of a shared practice space during three consecutive days.

... Through Practices invites to explore the ecology of one’s personal attention and sense for participation. A variety of guided and hosted scores and protocols make tangible how our mind’s presence is influenced by how we move and take part in things (and vice versa).
Being the last event within the artistic research trajectory ‘Distraction as Discipline’ at KASK, this framework presents the exploration and maintenance of artistic research practices as artistic work. It is a further manifestation of Heike Langsdorf’s interest in reclaiming attention and participation as a resistant potential in art and art pedagogy in times of massive technification.
... Through Practices will not end with any conclusion concerning the subject matter and instead invites to attend the performance Mount Tackle (Revisited) on 30 & 31 October 20h at Vooruit / Ghent: A revision of the piece that served at the beginning of 'Distraction as Discipline' as a door for entering the process. Now it serves as a door for continuing the search.

… Through Practices: Taking part … through practices
Explores the relationship between artistic practices and research. Artistic practitioners gather at KASK - school for arts Ghent to present their own particular artistic practices and guide you though it. It allows you to experience how you kan think … through practices. The goal is to present artistic practices in such a way that they could be acknowledged as practices of research.
Mount Tackle (Revisited): Walking freely … through lots of stuff
Barely using spoken language, this piece enables multiple ‘readings’ of a situation. This openness, to some scary and uncomfortable, to others relieving and inspiring, invites to think whilst being immersed in stuff and junk (no garbage!). People can take literally their time and make themselves comfortable. There is no ideal spot, and therefore everybody is invited to try different perspectives; to walk around, scan and discover or just hang out. Both performers and public registrate, decipher and is tempted to interpret the surrounding landscape— both as onlooker and possible mobiliser of things.
