Razz­le Dazzle

The tit­le Razz­le Dazz­le refers to the dis­rup­ti­ve camou­fla­ge pat­terns with which war­ships were pain­ted during the First World War. This visu­al stra­te­gy was not inten­ded to make ships invi­si­ble, but rather to break up their con­tours and dis­turb per­cep­ti­on. In this exhi­bi­ti­on, that prin­ci­ple is revi­si­ted and recon­tex­tu­a­li­zed: pat­tern beco­mes a means to unsett­le, to sedu­ce, and to open up new ways of rea­ding the image.

Each of the par­ti­ci­pa­ting artists employs pat­terns in their own way as a fun­da­men­tal ele­ment of their prac­ti­ce. Pain­tings emer­ge from lay­e­red motifs that do not sim­ply fill the ima­ge but acti­ve­ly con­struct it. Within the works, pat­terns devel­op as stra­ta that rhythmi­cally sha­pe the form, frag­ment it, or at times inten­si­fy it. An opti­cal ten­si­on ari­ses in which spa­ce, surfa­ce, and deco­ra­ti­on begin to merge.

The­se works invi­te a slow, inves­ti­ga­ti­ve gaze. Just as we recog­ni­ze ever-chan­ging figu­res and ima­ges in clouds, the pat­terns gui­de us away from the imme­di­a­te motif. They open men­tal spa­ces in which form and mea­ning con­ti­nuous­ly shift.

Within Razz­le Dazz­le, pat­tern func­ti­ons as a nar­ra­ti­ve stra­te­gy: a visu­al lan­gu­a­ge that leads us beyond the pure­ly deco­ra­ti­ve. What may ini­ti­al­ly appear as repe­ti­ti­on or orna­ment gra­du­al­ly unfolds into lay­e­red ima­ges that diso­rient, enti­ce, pro­vo­ke reflec­ti­on, and invi­te us to drift — far beyond the visi­ble surface.

During the artist talk on 28/11 , Gleb(s) explored the dialogue between traditional techniques—such as weaving and tempera painting—and their Q***r identity. They spoke about how these crafts, often associated with heritage, patience, and care, become a medium through which strength and vulnerability can coexist.

By reclaiming and reinterpreting these techniques, Gleb(s) reflects on personal history, community, and the fluidity of identity.

The evening brought together multiple communities, creating a space for open, honest conversation about resilience, tenderness, and connection.

The discussion was skillfully moderated by Lieuwe Maes, whose guidance allowed the audience to move between personal reflection and broader cultural perspectives.

This event was a collaboration between The Wrong House, Schouwburg Kortrijk, and Quace Kortrijk.
Warm thanks to Amin Srasra and Ruben van Bolwerk,

and a very special thanks to Vince Maes for the coordination.
