Small guide accompanying ‘Mycelium as Lingua Franca’ at A Tale of A Tub, Rotterdam (Nov. 16 2019-Jan. 26, 2020). The exhibition engaged a group of artists sharing an interest in fungi, and by extension, in the words of anthropologist Anna Tsing, the ways in which mushrooms enable humans to think about the possibilities of life in capitalist ruins. As mushrooms have proved to be a resilient form of life in the current man-made climate regime, capable of growing in polluted industrial environments deemed uninhabitable, the exhibition leaped from the human communities of the ‘world wide web’ to the ‘wood wide web’: a complex and vast planetary communication network, consisting of collaborations and exchanges between trees and fungi.
