Artist duo Craig & Karl turns Beijing museum into theme park

Upon stepping into the Beijing Times Art Museum in the bustling Wukesong area, visitors may soon feel like they have entered a theme park, ready to be taken on a fun ride by the vibrant, playful work of Australian artist duo Craig & Karl.

Craig & Karl, short for Craig Redman and Karl Maier, kicked off their first museum solo Inside Out in China at the Beijing museum on Friday.

Known for their visually bold, bright, and playful artwork spanning illustration, installation, design and animation, Craig & Karl have been collaborating for decades from their respective bases in New York and London.
