“The Association for Creative Zoology” is the current traveling exhibition from the Hokes Archives. Created by Beauvais Lyons, the project is a work of mock-documentation presenting an invented system of creation science. Images from the project, and more information is posted on the Hokes Archives website ( http://web.utk.edu/~blyons) under the “zoology” link.

Earlier versions of this project have been presented at the Museum of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia and twice at the Scopes Trial Festival  held each summer in Dayton, Tennessee. A good review of the project by Andrea Kirsh is posted on the Philadelphia ArtBlog:

The project is presented on two kiosks that display 15 prints, 6 taxidermy specimens, a ceramic replica of a fossil, and various small props, including a ceramic plate, a mason jar with an insect-snake, a replica of a centaur statue, and a bottle of dog-fish elixer. Additional prints are included for presentation on a nearby wall. The exhibition includes a short 8-minute video for projection or monitor presentation. The whole installation requires a gallery of about 1,000 square feet with ceiling of at least 12 feet in height.

While most of the exhibition materials are crated, because of the size of the kiosk elements, it is best shipped in a 15 foot box truck. I will work with exhibiting galleries and museums to arrange for transportation, installation, de-assembly and return transportation of the exhibition.
