a feature<\/a> in the<\/em> Cornell Chronicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBy David Nutt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNorman Daly spent years chronicling the lost Iron Age civilization of Llhuros\u2014its relics, its rituals, its poetry, its music\u2014as well as the academic commentary it inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the thing that makes Llhuros most noteworthy as a civilization?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It never existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daly reached Cornell\u2019s then-mandatory retirement age of 65 in 1976\u2014but convinced his college to let him return as an instructor, finally retiring in 1999. (Marilyn Rivchin)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Daly wasn\u2019t an anthropologist or archaeologist, but an art professor who taught at Cornell for 57 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the late 1960s, he created more than 150 Llhuroscian \u201cartifacts\u201d from everyday materials and industrial detritus, all of it corroded and pre-aged to appear ancient, and he invented elaborate backstories about the culture that supposedly produced them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A small group of university and community collaborators helped him expand the project to include other kinds of media, such as sound and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1972, Llhuros was unveiled to the world in a one-of-a-kind exhibition on campus that didn\u2019t announce itself as a fictional creation. Visitors had to puzzle it out for themselves. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Some were baffled. Some were angry. Most were delighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition garnered national media coverage and led to more showings throughout the U.S. and Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daly continued to expand the world of Llhuros throughout the years, but by the time he died in 2008, most of it was sitting in storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fall, Cornell University Library\u2019s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections acquired a trove of archival materials documenting the creation of this fictional society\u2014giving researchers and historians a detailed view into a unique project that is both an absurdist critique of academic anthropology and an attempt to draw crucial connections between the past and the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs an archivist, and someone who\u2019s in charge of preserving the legacy of Cornell faculty, I saw right away that this was a collection that would be wonderful to have,\u201d says University Archivist Evan Earle \u201902, MS \u201914. \u201cIt documents just one tiny little sliver of Cornell\u2019s history. But it\u2019s a fascinating one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modern-day students in an anthropology course were tasked with examining Llhuros relics as though they were remnants of an ancient Cornellian civilization. (Jason Koski \/ Cornell University)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOver roughly six years, Daly conjured an enigmatic culture he named Llhuros, using everything from gaskets and blender parts to meat tenderizers and citrus juicers to pass as its ritual objects and scientific instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He mapped out the geography and its cities and sacred sites. He conceived of cultural ceremonies. He wrote Llhuroscian poetry. All of these elements were organized, like any other classic anthropology, into distinct time periods that tracked the rise and fall of this imaginary Iron Age civilization, one that had much more in common with present-day America than casual viewers might suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLlhuros is here and now\u2014a recasting of my 60 years of experience,\u201d he says in a February 1972 interview with Newsweek<\/em>. \u201cYou know, people won\u2019t listen if you talk to them seriously. My show is like that Pennsylvania Dutch expression \u2018half in jest and all in earnest.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt documents just one tiny little sliver of Cornell\u2019s history. But it\u2019s a fascinating one.<\/p>University Archivist Evan Earle \u201902, MS \u201914<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThere wasn\u2019t any precedent for something like Llhuros\u2014at least not in the field of visual art. While writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien had built their own meticulous fictional worlds, Daly avoided any books or artworks that might be too similar. His sole literary influence, he once noted, was Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Underpinning Daly\u2019s project was a subversive playfulness that was very much part of the 1960s counterculture, with a cultural critique that transcended mere hoax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNorman was a lot of fun. He was very witty, with very wry humor,\u201d says Marilyn Rivchin, MFA \u201991, retired senior lecturer in film. \u201cAnd he was just full of energy. I mean, he wasn\u2019t a kid at the time, but he was very sprightly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early \u201970s, Rivchin was working as an assistant to Thomas Leavitt, then director of the A.D. White Museum of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA spread from the Llhuros exhibit catalog. (Ryan Young \/ Cornell University)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Recognizing the scope of Daly\u2019s vision, Leavitt gave him the run of two full floors of the A.D. White House\u2014which served as the university art museum from 1953 to 1973\u2014to display \u201cThe Civilization of Llhuros,\u201d and put Rivchin in charge of organizing the show. When it came to preparing the catalog, much of their work was to camouflage the role of artist and curator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe exhibition itself never gave away the fact that this was a fictitious civilization,\u201d Rivchin says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was Norman\u2019s idea throughout that people would either pick up on the idea or not, and it was really up to the audience to sort of fill in the sense and the logic of the work and see that it was really more about contemporary society than it was any real, ancient civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition itself never gave away the fact that this was a fictitious civilization.<\/p>Retired senior lecturer Marilyn Rivchin, MFA \u201991<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThe catalog described itself as \u201can exhibition of artifacts from the recent excavations of Vanibo, Houndee, Draikum, and other sites\u201d and listed Norman Daly as \u201cDirector of Llhuroscian Studies, Cornell University.\u201d The big reveal of Daly\u2019s ruse came at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A review in Newsweek<\/em> raved that \u201cThe Civilization of Llhuros\u201d was \u201can archaeological magical mystery tour the like of which has never been offered before,\u201d filled with eerie, evocative music and artifacts that were \u201cdazzling, witty, and disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome of Daly\u2019s fellow academics were more than disturbed\u2014they were outraged. The reaction delighted Daly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next two years, the exhibition traveled to museums throughout the U.S., then went to Germany for a major show, for which Daly created new site-specific Llhuroscian material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By 1977, all of Llhuros had returned from Europe in enormous crates that were put into storage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And there, aside from one or two shows, they remained for decades. Daly died in 2008, at the age of 96.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, in 2017, Llhuros experienced an unexpected revival when a number of its artifacts were included in an installation in Montpellier, France. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
That renewed interest culminated in a symposium this fall celebrating the 50th anniversary of \u201cThe Civilization of Llhuros,\u201d a virtual event hosted by the University of Tennessee-Knoxville\u2019s School of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As much as Daly\u2019s project makes sport of academia, the library\u2019s acquisition of the Llhuros material means more scholars will now be able to engage with the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection includes photos of the artifacts, maps, text, recordings, old exhibition labels, Daly\u2019s teaching materials, his early pre-Llhuros artwork, even an eight-track cassette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Jason Koski \/ Cornell University)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSince the archive is not equipped to store large three-dimensional objects, Daly\u2019s approximately 150 handcrafted artifacts remain in a storage facility in nearby Elmira, New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it\u2019s hoped that the renewed interest in Llhuros will lead to future exhibitions\u2014and possibly a permanent home for the artifacts as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
