Constantly dissolving and rebuilding the barrier between its inner and outer world, each hyphal tip in a mycelial network receives and transmits messages with all that it encounters. Most of these communications have yet to be deciphered by humans, though we try.
The language of fungi is anomalous and seemingly indecipherable – only to be witnessed through forms of silent catalysis.
In/Visible Signals: Emergent Integration is an exhibition that expresses this notion through its collection of artworks centered on visualizing and deepening relationship with the fungal lexicon. Featuring an expansive array of artists, works in the exhibition explore the complexity of the dynamic fungal world through painting, sculpture, photographs, new media, video, and sound work. These physical manifestations of messages, metaphors, and meanings join together to facilitate care and connections between fungi, humans, and the rest of the living world.
We are now accepting applications for artists wishing to exhibit their original work at In/Visible Signals, with preference given to works directly inspired by the 2026 RMC theme, Emergent Integration, or this year’s featured genus, Pleurotus.
