All That the Rain Promises and More...
25 Jul, 2019 - 14 Sep, 2019
This group exhibition takes the fruiting body of fungus, the mushroom, as a starting point. From ancient myths and folkloric legends to recent scientific discoveries, fungi has been heralded as a powerful symbol of hope and ecological connectivity, bringing the promise of renewal, reproduction and fertility. Crossing multiple generations, with work from Helen Chadwick, Ithell Colquhoun, Sean Steadman and Paloma Proudfoot, the 17 selected artists share a preoccupation with the symbiotic connection we each have with our environment. In their own way each artist acknowledges the human body as a porous, precarious site and life as a precarious condition.
