Science on Tap is a monthly gathering that features a brief, informal presentation by a scientist or other expert followed by lively conversation.
Beauvais Lyons, Director of the Hokes Archive
“The Association of Creative Zoology”
Join us for a one-of-a-kind presentation combining visual art and performative dialogue. In playing with and even parodying conceptions of the history of life on earth, artist Beauvais Lyons, self-appointed Director of the Hokes Archives, provokes skepticism and critical thinking on the part of audiences of all persuasions, whether proponents of evolution, creationism, or intelligent design. In confusing the boundaries between art and science, and between the imaginary and the real, Lyons challenges the ways that beliefs about the world are formed. Lyons’s installation, The Association for Creative Zoology, will be on view at the American Philosophical Society’s Jefferson Garden at 105 South Fifth Street (near the corner of Fifth and Chestnut) in September.
Presented by the American Philosophical Society (APS) Museum.
Open to the public (age 21+ or accompanied by chaperone 25 years or older).
