Thursday, July 18, 6pm. OPENING RECEPTION –
Fantastic Fauna-Chimeric Creatures – Beauvais Lyons
Fantastic Fauna features factitious concoctions by Dr. Beauvais Lyons, professor of art and Director of the Hokes Archives at the University of Tennessee. Part archaeologist, part scientist, part satirist, part artistic visionary, Lyons is the force behind an incredible world of factitious artifacts, drawings, and objects that record the mythical visions through which he builds his own fantastical narrative of unnatural history. Intriguing examples of interspecies hybrids are preserved as astonishing specimens of taxidermy and meticulously rendered lithographs. These only hint at the unexpected riches preserved in a collection that owes as much to P.T. Barnum as John James Audubon. Lyons’ one-person exhibitions have been presented at over 80 galleries and museums across the United States.
Also a special performance by NC Opera in anticipation of their upcoming production of Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”
Thursday, August 22, 7:30pm. Movie in the Garden
Roger Corman’s Sharktopus
Genetics run amok! When the black operations project known as “Blue Water” goes horrifically wrong, the “Sharktopus” – a half-shark, half-octopus creature created for the military – embarks upon a rampage across Southern California and Mexico, and is finally stopped through the valiant efforts of civilian and military personnel. Directed by Declan O’Brien and starring Eric Roberts, Kerem Bürsin, Sara Malakul Lane.
Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and enjoy a movie under the stars. Time may adjust according to actual sunset.
