Beauvais Lyons
Lyons, a chancellor鈥檚 professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will present 鈥淢ock Documentation鈥� at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24, at the Ulrich Museum of Art. The presentation, which explains his exhibition, is free and open to the public.
Lyons鈥� exhibition, 鈥淓nvisioned Worlds: Lithographs from the Hokes Archives,鈥� will be on display from Jan. 25-March 4 at the Clayton Staples Gallery, located on the second floor of the McKnight Art Center.
His work of academic parody lithographs are often regarded as a form of science fiction. The collection features 25 lithographs from 鈥淩econstruction of an Aazudian Temple,鈥� 鈥淗okes Medical Arts鈥� and 鈥淭he Association for Creative Zoology.鈥� Each of the collections are based on fictitious events, from an imaginary Mesopotamian civilization in modern-day Iraq to an early 20th century creationist organization.
The prints are inspired by literary and cinematic traditions of mock-documentation. Lyons has created elaborate works of academic and museum parody for over three decades. His past projects have included imaginary ancient cultures, invented anatomical prints and drawings and a fake collection of contemporary folk art.
Lyons has taught printmaking at UT-Knoxville since 1985. His prints are in numerous public collections including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
