Fantasy Zoo

HATE REALITY? LOVE ANIMALS? SKINT? Garudio Studiage have the perfect project for you with our latest collaborative venture, the Garudio Studiage ‘Fantasy Zoo’.

Garudio have chosen 30 of their favourite artists to receive an imaginary budget of £10,000 to ‘buy’ animals anywhere they can find them and create the zoo of their dreams. The rules are strict but the outcome is open, so expect everything from balloon giraffes to ornamental cats all created with a careful budget in mind.

The exhibition takes place in the ancient and sprawling crypt space of St Pancras Church in Euston, a location that lends itself perfectly to the fanstastical theme. Corridors and crannies will be packed with all forms of animal life…

We are inviting our friends and our favourites to contribute their Zoos in any format they wish: drawing, painting, animation, collage, 3D, sound and any other medium you can imagine.

Along with Garudio Studiage, contributing artists and designers include:

Coralie Bickford-Smith, Karin Åkesson, Ivana Bobic, Andy Forshaw, Tatty Devine, Andrew Rae, James Dawe, Mike Topping, Hannah Waldron, Laura Gill, Annabelle Hartmann, Sarah Fotheringham, Kenn Munk, Adam Knight, Tara Langford, and many more

Shown at

The Crypt Gallery, St Pancras Church, Euston Road, London, NW1 2BA
