Running With Mycelium 2020.
RWM 2020 is an ongoing project, conceived to be as a space that merges artistic, academic and live observation of fungi. Heilmann’s vision extends to promoting multidisciplinary dialogues and collaborations that will contribute to a deeper understanding of our companion species.
“As the mycelium runs, I follow its cue, branching outwards making connections”.
Fungi and Art: Relevance, Presence and Future, is an offshoot of Running With Mycelium 2020.
