Wenyon & Gamble is the name used by the art team of Susan Gamble and Michael Wenyon. Susan Gamble & Michael Wenyon are collaborating visual artists, known for their work using holography and for art works resulting from their residencies in observatories and other scientific institutions. As a team they have worked with photographic technology since 1983. They are married and have lived together since 1981. In 1993 they were awarded the UNESCO Prize for the Promotion of The Arts, for their contributions to new technology art.〔‘The UNESCO Prize for the Promotion of the Arts’, The Unesco Courier, 48 (1995), 45 (PDF ).〕 As a team they combine different academic backgrounds: Gamble has a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths' College, London and a PhD in the History of Science from Cambridge University. Wenyon has a BSc in physics from Bristol University, UK, and an MSc in optics, from Imperial College London; on graduating, he wrote one of the first popular textbooks on holography.〔Wenyon, Michael, Understanding Holography (New York: Arco Pub. Co, 1978).〕 The British writer Marina Benjamin said about their work: :''Wenyon and Gamble are deaf to John Keats's accusation that Newton destroyed the rainbow; they applaud the artistic merit of theory, the authored character of science, and the beauty of artifice.''〔Benjamin, Marina, ‘Holography and the Play of Light, Volumes, An Exhibition of Holography by Michael Wenyon and Susan Gamble, Photographers’ Gallery, London’, New Scientist, 1993, 41-42, (PDF ).〕 : == Meeting & Early Work == Susan Gamble and Michael Wenyon met in 1980 at Goldsmiths' Holography Workshop, Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, an experimental studio set up for artists to experiment with holograms, the first such facility in Europe. They were the founding staff of the Workshop, modeled on an open-access print-making studio, providing holographic instruction and equipment rental for visiting artists and art students. The Workshop was funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Arts Council of Great Britain.〔Hills, Ann, ‘Holography Course for Artists’, Arts Alert/The Greater London Arts Association, 1980.〕〔Ellmann, Lucy, ‘Spotlights and Glass Plates (review)’, Time Out (London), 1981.〕〔Pollitt, Nigel, ‘Beam of Love’, City Limits, 1985.〕 Wenyon & Gamble organized a traveling exhibition from the workshop, ''The Holography Show'', which opened at the Orchard Gallery, Derry and toured to seven other museums in England, Wales and Northern Ireland during 1982; it featured work by eight artists who had used the facility, including Bill Culbert, Jeremy Diggle, Peter Donebauer, Liliane Lijn and Andrew Logan.〔McManus, Irene, ‘The Holography Show’, The Guardian (London, 1 June 1983).〕〔Kelly, Liam, ‘Holograms at the Orchard Gallery, Derry’, The Irish Times (Dublin, 20 October 1982).〕 Other visiting artists included Bill Molteni and Rick Silberman. Wenyon & Gamble's first collaborative exhibition, ''Wenyon & Gamble: New Holograms'', was at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea, Wales, in 1984.〔Briers, David, ‘Duped by Their Art’, in Wenyon & Gamble: New Holograms/catalogue to the Exhibition (Swansea, Wales: Glynn Vivian Art Gallery & Museum, 1984).〕〔Galloway, David, ‘Wenyon & Gamble’, in Artware (Düsseldorf: ECON Verlag, 1987).〕〔Friese, Peter, ‘Die Täuschung Führt Sich Hinter’s Licht: Wenyon & Gamble’, in Künstlichkeit Und Wirklichkeit : E.
