Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla have drawn from the incredible collections of Paris’s natural history museum for these projects. Hope Hippo, shown at the 2005 Venice
Biennale, will be displayed in the museum’s central gallery, while two films use precious artifacts – the Venus of Lespugue and two elephant skeletons – to create unusual concerts.
