"Olly and Suzi Untamed: A Collabration with Photographer Greg Williams"
2001-07-20 until 2002-05-06
Natural History Museum
London, , UK

Collaborative British artists Olly and Suzi work with photographer Greg Williams in remote polar, desert, jungle and ocean environments, tracking, painting and interacting with predators and their prey. Animals are encouraged to interact physically with their paintings; mauling, biting or scratching the works - leaving their trace - evidence of a unique performance.

For The Natural History Museum, Olly and Suzi will present an installation of photography, film, painting, and drawing throughout the interior and exterior. A Gigantic 10 x 9 metre photographic work, White shark bite will be displayed next to the Earth Galleries entrance, while throughout the Museum there will be works showing interactions with predators such as anacondas, saltwater crocodiles, white sharks, tarantulas and wild dogs.

During the exhibition they will be working with the Museum's scientists, naturalists and research biologists as artists-in-residence. The exhibition will also be supported by an events programme for visitors, including participatory workshops and talks by scientists from the Museum and elsewhere, and by Olly and Suzi themselves.
