OUTDOOR GALLERY EXHIBITION 'Craig & Karl: Rear Vision'
Brisbane City Council presents the latest Outdoor Gallery exhibition Craig & Karl: Rear Vision, co-curated by Carrie McCarthy and Angela Goddard, from 14 June to 20 October 2025. Craig & Karl: Rear Vision is a dynamic, playful exploration of one of Queensland's most internationally successful creative exports. With their signature visual language defined by bold colour, graphic precision and infectious joy, the exhibition features some of Craig & Karl’s most celebrated series exploring themes of community, identity, imagination and love. Co-curated by Carrie McCarthy and Angela Goddard (from Griffith University Art Museum), Craig & Karl: Rear Vision includes many works never exhibited in Australia to serve as a homecoming prelude ahead of their Australian-exclusive exhibition and major public art interventions with Griffith University Art Museum and Brisbane Festival in September 2025. Craig Redman & Karl Maier first teamed up in 1996 after meeting as students at the Queensland College of Art & Design, Brisbane. They came to attention as co-founders of design collective Rinzen before establishing themselves as collaborative duo Craig & Karl in 2011. Their beginnings in Brisbane continue to inform their practice, regularly incorporating homages to the city that helped launch their careers. Their dynamic aesthetic employs the artists’ signature message of humour, joy and optimism to explore themes of community, identity, imagination, and love. Council’s Outdoor Gallery transforms Brisbane’s laneways and city streets into imaginative, curious and engaging spaces. We invite you to explore Brisbane’s hidden gems through Outdoor Gallery’s exhibition artworks found on light boxes and banners, in vitrines and as evening projections. For more information, on public programming and associated events visit Council’s website. Image Credit: Craig & Karl Hi! 2024. Digital print. Image courtesy of the artists.

Venus and Buttercup: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire
Presented by Joanne Tindale with Brisbane Anywhere Festival, 'Buttercup and Venus: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire' is a slightly absurd short play about the loss of usefulness and the meaning of family.

In this alternative world, dairy cows are bonded with a child from birth to the age of 18. As Charlie is about to turn 18, Venus must look for another job and accommodation or risk homelessness. Venue: The Paint Factory, 115 Hyde Road, Yeronga This project is supported by a Creative Sparks grant. The Creative Sparks grant is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council to support local arts and culture in Brisbane.

She Works Hard For (No) Money
Ever wonder how the dishwasher magically loads itself? Or how the farewell card appears at exactly the right time when someone retires? Welcome to the world of She Works Hard For (No) Money — a black comedy that dives headfirst into the chaotic circus of unpaid labour. From “I don’t know where the towels are kept!” to “Just tell me what to do!”, this show uncovers the comedy and tragedy of weaponised incompetence — the art of pretending not to know, so you don’t have to do the boring stuff. And we’re not naming names, but if the shoe fits (and he can find it), maybe that man in your life needs a wake-up call. Written by Samantha Hill, this hilariously infuriating comedy of labours will be transplanted into a real office space for the Anywhere Festival. It’ll be just like being at work: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll stuff yourself with cake… This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

Metamorphosis
Delivered as part of Anywhere Festival, Metamorphosis is a theatrical and audio-visual Kaleidoscope. Calvin Smith has written an altogether gut-wrenching and yet hilarious and inspiring work; an emotional rollercoaster. You will laugh, and cry, and discover together that, although there is much work to be done for men to transform into metaphorical “butterflies”, there is hope that we can mend men’s hearts and work together for a better world. Tickets are available through the Anywhere Festival website. Anywhere Festival is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.
