We work at the intersection of art and science.
Fungi Foundation has carried out numerous collaborations with artists and curators, and participated in exhibitions and in exhibition-making. As the fields of art and science continue to evolve, we too are transforming our vision of how to best gestate and support artistic research into the world of fungi. Integral to our mission is collaboration across disciplines and the creation of a new mycological paradigm.
