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.
The exhibition "Pilze – Verflochtene Welten" (“Mushrooms – Interconnected Worlds”) at the Museum Sinclair Haus at Bad Homburg, Germany, received over 11,500 visitors, showcasing paintings, photos, drawings, sculptures, and interventions inspired by fungi. Fungi Foundation’s documentary 10 Days in the Forest was part of the exhibition.
Fungi Foundation mentors Museo del Hongo (Fungi Museum) in Chile and is the scientific curator of their exhibitions. For Fungi Museum’s INFINITA exhibition, at the XIV Biennial of Video and Media l Arts in Santiago (2019), we curated a vitrine with a collection of eight native species of fungi collected by the Foundation in the most extreme environments of Chile. The exhibition was held at the Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna National Museum in Santiago, Chile.
