ONLINE EVENT - RAZZLE DAZZLE panel Discussion

Online Friday, November 6, 2020, 6 – 7pm As part of Brisbane City’s Outdoor Gallery exhibition RAZZLE DAZZLE, you are invited to join us in partnership with Museum of Brisbane, for a livestreamed panel discussion with McCarthy-Swann Projects co-curator Amy-Clare McCarthy, alongside exhibiting artists.A colloquial term for good ol’ theatrics, and the name of an early 20th century camouflage patterning, RAZZLE DAZZLE brings together artists concerned with identity, spectacle, disguise and disappearance. Through the use of patterning, colour, and adornment, these artists both emphasise and veil bodies and faces - in a social context in which many people of marginalised identities are subject to scrutiny. Hear from exhibiting artists included in RAZZLE DAZZLE exhibition as they discuss their works with curator Amy-Clare McCarthy, and what it means for the works to be shown in public spaces.Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery transforms Brisbane’s laneways and city streets into imaginary, curious and engaging spaces. Comprising light boxes, banner, vitrines and evening projections, the Outdoor Gallery displays art outside in city street, instead of inside on gallery walls. Recently, the Outdoor Gallery has grown to now include art projections at Howard Smith Wharves.RAZZLE DAZZLE considers the nature of public space and individuals within it - particularly people who for different reasons, may feel hyper-visible or invisible. Considering ideas of identity, spectacle, and camouflage, the artists included use patterning, colour, or adornment to either hide, exaggerate, or transform.Image credit: Hannah Gartside’s artwork on at Howard Smith Wharves cliffs as part of Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery exhibition RAZZLE DAZZLE.
