MELBOURNE DESIGN WEEK
14 — 21 MAY 2026
CHROMEPLEASE presents a series of public events and spatial activations across Melbourne Design Week 2026, exploring publishing as an exhibition format. The program brings together installations and exhibition environments that translate printed work into spatial and collective experiences. Across multiple locations, CHROMEPLEASE investigates material experimentation, spatial storytelling, and audience engagement through architecture, design, and visual culture.
The program includes the launch of CHROMEPLEASE Issue 02 DELETE at MPavilion, alongside additional exhibition events presented throughout the week.
