John Lyall

John Lyall was born in Sydney, Australia. He attended the Sydney College of the Arts between 1980 and 1982 completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a double major in Sculpture with specialist areas in sound and performance.

In 1983 he moved to New Zealand and completed his secondary teachers training in Auckland in 1984. Between 1992 and 1993 he completed his Masters in Fine Arts, with First Class Honours in Sculpture from Elam at the University of Auckland. He also received the Fowlds Memorial Prize for pre-eminent Fine Arts Student.

Lyall "is interested in the interbreeding of historical languages of classification with the unpredictable richness of the material world." He focuses on the feral - "feral as in the post-colonial ecological sense: introduced exotic, which has run wild and adapted." His practice is installation, but what is installed at any given time maybe objects, photographs, sound or performance, and may be installed, physically present or documented by the camera.

He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions since 1982 both within New Zealand and international. Including- 2006 Winter Festival Sarajevo; 2005- “9 Dragonheads”, Korea; 2002 "A Moa, A Math, A Mount"- drawings and photographs at 40 George Street, Auckland; 2001 "Bright Paradise" - the 1st Auckland Triennial at the Auckland Art Gallery and "Darkness and Light; looking at landscape", New Gallery, Auckland, this travelled to Melbourne; 1997 - "alt.nature" at Artspace, Auckland and "Towards an Hyper-Feral Art Aotearoa:Picketing the Sublime; given both a Blue Displacement, and an Illuminating Vessel", Auckland Art Gallery; 1995/6- "Putting our Town on the Map", Rotorua Museum of Art & History,

In 1989 and 1992 he participated in the Soundwatch festivals and in 1993 gave a solo performance as part of a concert of three New Zealand performers at SoundCulture, Tokyo. In 1999 at SoundCulture, Auckland he gave a performance of his cyber/opera "Requiem for a Moa" and in 2000 "Requiem for (dis-located) Electronic Moa" was performed in Lancaster at the 'Between Nature', conference. For 'Bright Paradise' in 2001 "Waltzing the Feral" was performed at Artspace, Auckland.
 
Lyall is also a writer. "The Accelerated Sublime:Landscape, Tourism and Identity", was published as a joint work with Claudia Bell, sociologist at the University of Auckland, for Praeger, Greenwood, USA, 2001.

He is represented in private and public collection; including Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington and the Rotorua Museum of Art and History.
