MUSHROOMS
MUSHROOMS is a visual conversation that engages with the multifaceted and expansive fungi. Curated by vermilion, the show highlights the humble fruiting fungus and the connectedness it builds throughout nature and society.
vermilion (b. Romania) is a “make-something-out-of-nothing” artist. Her installations, textile art, collages, and assemblages juxtapose social activism with an impulse for playfulness, humor, surprise, and uniqueness. She has presented visual and performance “artivism” events across the U.S. and Europe.
“Art is a catalyst for change. I thought of the current menace of ‘mushroom clouds’ in the war in Ukraine and mental health research investigating the potential of mushrooms in medicine. My dream was not only to present a striking and thought-provoking exhibition but also for Fountain House Gallery to serve as a hub for a variety of events exploring the significance of mushrooms.”
