2:00PM - 3:00PM

Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery exhibition displayed art in light boxes, banners, vitrines and evening projections across Brisbane. The program transformed the city’s laneways, streets and car parks into imaginative and engaging spaces for everyone to enjoy.

The latest Outdoor Gallery exhibition, Craig & Karl: Rear Vision, co-curated by Carrie McCarthy and Angela Goddard, was a bold and playful exploration of one of Australia’s most internationally successful creative exports, foregrounding signature messages of humour, optimism and joy.

The exhibition showcased the artist duo Craig and Karl’s most renowned artworks, delving into themes of community, resilience, connectivity, imagination, tolerance and love. The works traced their creative journey and highlighted their distinctive style. The collaboration between the two artists began at the Queensland College of Art & Design almost 30 years ago. The exclusive Australian exhibition and significant public art display at Griffith University Art Museum took place from August to December 2025.
