The exhibition Draad. Het absurde is overal is currently on display at the TEXTURE – museum of flax and textiles in Kortrijk. Draad. Het absurde is overal . In this extraordinary group exhibition, 33 artists play with the many contrasts of our time. They celebrate the versatility of textiles and push the boundaries of material and technique. Knitted film stills, textile memories in clay, and patterns reminiscent of digital pixels explore the possibilities of textiles as an artistic medium while simultaneously questioning the world we live in. The artists find beauty in waste and residual materials, discover protection and strength in fragile materials, and turn the everyday inside out into something unexpected and delightfully absurd.

We were proud to provide the lighting for this sophisticated exhibition at the Texture Museum. In museum environments, light plays a crucial role: it brings materials to life, emphasizes structures and textures, and creates the right atmosphere to fully immerse visitors in the story behind each object. Especially with textile art, a careful balance is essential, where visibility, experience, and conservation go hand in hand.

For Draad. Het absurde is overal , we realized a balanced lighting plan of 50 lux. This museum-standard light level makes every detail visible without straining the fragile collection. Through precise alignment of light beams and fixture positions, a calm, subtle lighting experience is created that supports the artworks without dominating them.

The result is high-quality, understated lighting that naturally enhances materials, colors, and structures. The light follows the rhythm of the exhibition and contributes to an intense yet comfortable visitor experience. In this way, the lighting forms an invisible but essential link in the total experience of the exhibition, where art, material, and narrative converge.
