Meanjin/Brisbane will be transformed into an outdoor gallery of brightly coloured inflatables and sculptures this September, in a citywide takeover as part of Brisbane festival. Internationally renowned Australian artists and designers Craig Redman and Karl Maier – AKA Craig & Karl – will create colourful, inflatable installations on three of the Queensland capital’s central walking bridges, and present a public art trail of sculptures, inflatable installations, projections and animations through the city.

“It really will feel like the city is completely alive with this explosion of extraordinary colour,” said the Brisbane festival director, Louise Bezzina.
