Craft Victoria’s new exhibition highlights Australian creative talent through the lens of Vogue Living’s Style Editor

Craft Victoria will launch one of its largest exhibitions to date this month with DONE/UNDONE, curated by Joseph Gardner as part of the gallery’s 2025 Visionaries series.

Running from November 14, 2025, to February 7, 2026, the exhibition features work by more than 50 Australian artists working across diverse mediums, scales and practices – all united by a focus on process, materiality and experimentation.

DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation – a series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be. The exhibition considers the intuitive moments when a maker chooses to pause, push further, or dismantle entirely – the choices that define the rhythm of making across art, design and craft.

The works span a spectrum of resolution. Some reveal their construction openly – raw, unpolished and deconstructed – where process is as visible as form. Others are meticulously refined, their surfaces concealing the complexity of their making. Some revisit historical ideas and materials, while others venture into entirely new territory, using experimentation as both method and message.

Through these perspectives, DONE/UNDONE invites visitors to look beyond notions of completion and consider how intention, iteration and even doubt shape both the creative act and the finished work.

Presented as part of Craft’s annual Visionaries program – which each year highlights a leading voice shaping the future of Australian art, craft and design – the exhibition showcases exceptional contemporary talent.

Joseph Gardner is the founder of Sydney-based Studio Gardner and currently serves as style editor-at-large for Vogue Living. His work has appeared in international titles including Vogue Australia, Vogue Living, GQ Australia, Architectural Digest Spain and China, and Love Want.

DONE/UNDONE runs at Craft Victoria, Watson Place, from November 14 to February 7. More information: craft.org.au/whats-on/all-events/doneundone •
