Fables and Folklore

Internationally renowned Australian decorator, Simone Haag, is the curator of Craft’s summer exhibition. Making her curatorial debut, Haag presents a group exhibition featuring works by more than 40 Australian artists. This exhibition marks the first in Craft’s new series, Visionaries – an exciting showcase of what the future of Australian art, craft and design looks like through the lens of the country’s most influential creatives.

Fables and Folklore delves into the narratives imbued in objects and artworks, celebrating the age-old fascination humans hold with storytelling and lore, and its ability to hold our attention captive. Haag hand-picked a collection of works from some of the most respected Australian artists and craft practitioners, as well as some new faces – many of whom will exhibit at Craft for the first time. With her expert eye for interiors and design, Haag weaves a story of highly collectable works across the mediums of furniture, textiles, ceramics and lighting.
