Craig & Karl: Double Vision

Griffith University Art Museum

28 August 2025 – 17 January 2026

Craig & Karl: Double Vision is a dynamic, playful exploration of one of Queensland's most internationally successful creative exports. Employing Craig & Karl’s signature visual language, defined by bold colour, graphic precision, and infectious joy, the exhibition explores the artists’ three-decade-long creative partnership, their influence on global public art and design trends, and the enduring impact of Griffith University’s Queensland College of Art & Design, where the artists first met almost 30 years ago.

Co-curated by Angela Goddard and Carrie McCarthy and timed to coincide with Griffith University’s 50th anniversary, Double Vision’s reach will be expanded via public art outcomes across the University’s five campuses in South East Queensland, as well as major public art interventions with project partners Brisbane City Council, Brisbane Festival, and Fish Lane Arts Precinct, to create a truly citywide celebration of Queensland’s creative arts sector.

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 messages of humour, joy and optimism to explore themes of community, identity, imagination, and love.
