Slow Growing in the Time of Trees presents speculative objects produced over the
course of two growing seasons by mycollective, a mycology-focused artist collective that
brings together four creative practitioners and mushroom enthusiasts: Jim Charles, Lane
Hall, Yevgeniya Kaganovich, and Lisa Moline. Together, they examine the durational
nature of trees, mushrooms and humans, the symbiosis between trees and their human
and non-human partners, and interactions between natural and reclaimed materials over
time. Experimenting with both naturally occurring and cultivated living mushroom
cultures, mycollective generates work with visible fungal fruits and
invisible mycelial networks intertwined with trees. mycollective will be joined by guest
Kate Beutner.
