英国埃克塞特皇家艾伯特纪念博物馆正在举办名为《生活迷宫》的当代艺术展览,以菌类的文化世界为中心展开探讨1。展览由首席策展人劳拉·古德班德经过五年筹备打造,从2024年10月3日起开放,将持续至2025年2月21日1。
这场展览汇集了多种创新艺术作品,其中包括音乐家杰森·辛格的装置艺术《智慧之下》,该作品通过生物反馈传感器捕捉德文郡芬格尔和亚那林地采集的菌丝电信号,并将其转化为音乐1。辛格在创作理念中强调,所有生命体都产生振动,这是与其他生命体建立连接的一种方式1。
展览还展出了毕翠克丝·波特的水彩画作(由维多利亚与艾伯特博物馆提供)1,以及艺术家乔·珀尔创作的《平衡》,该作品灵感来自2023年新发现并以波特命名的菌类物种波特氏菌1。艺术家詹玛·安德森-坦皮尼则创作了《菌类母体2026》,使用采集自德文郡的红砂岩和巧克力色土壤进行制作,并首次尝试绘制人体内的菌群生态1。
The Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery in Exeter is presenting a contemporary art exhibition that investigates the intersection of fungal science and creative expression. Titled "Living Labyrinths," the show runs from October 3, 2024, to February 21, 2025, and was conceived over five years by chief curator Lara Goodband to celebrate what organizers describe as the cultural world of fungi.1
The exhibition's centerpiece is a sound installation by musician Jason Singh titled "The Intelligence Below," which transforms electrical signals produced by mycelium into music.1 Singh collected mycelial samples from two woodlands in Devon—Fingle and Yarner—and used biofeedback sensors to measure the voltage generated by the fungal networks, then converted these measurements into audio compositions.1 Singh's approach is grounded in the conviction that all living organisms generate and vibrate, and that this represents a means of connection across different forms of life.1
Alongside Singh's work, the exhibition features historical and contemporary artworks exploring fungal themes. Water colors by Beatrix Potter, loaned from the Victoria and Albert Museum, are on display alongside a newly named fungal species, Potteromyces asteroxylicola, which was discovered in 2023 and named in Potter's honor.1 Artist Jo Pearl has created a kinetic sculpture titled "In Balance" based on this species.1 Additionally, Gemma Anderson-Tempini's installation "Myco-Mother 2026" employs red sandstone and chocolate-colored soil collected from Devon in its construction and marks the first time the fungal ecosystems within the human body have been mapped artistically.1
