The Oxford English Dictionary defines “Lynchian” as “juxtaposing surreal or sinister elements with mundane, everyday environments, and for using compelling visual images to emphasize a dreamlike quality of mystery or menace.” Lynchland: Genre, Auteurism and a Fish in the Percolator* explores unheimlich artwork that could be considered fitting within the genre of David Lynch’s films. The show is not a tribute to David Lynch and does not feature “fan art”. Rather, it is an exploration of his genre, and how artwork that has a sense of the uncanny relates to how we understand something to be “Lynchian”. This show explores a wide array of artwork that connects to the Lynchian genre. From photography to painting, video to sculpture, visual to olfactory art, Lynchland immerses the audience in the variety of ways the genre manifests in the contemporary art world. * Referring to an incident in the first episode of Lynch’s Twin Peaks. “Fellas, don’t drink that coffee. You’d never guess…there was a fish in the percolator.”
