MUSHROOMJAM

Side-ways, 2021, Union Gallery, Kingston, ON
Embracing the possibility of failure and the potential of remaining in-progress, MUSHROOMJAM is comprised of a series of fragmentary and unfinished ideas, sketches, photographs, and thought experiments. Somewhere between parafiction and speculative fabulation, it contains a series of imaginings and propositions for maintaining collective intimacy while (forced to be) apart. Thinking alongside the more-than-human intelligence of slime mold and various other fungi, and taking up the methodological framework of roller derby jamming, MUSHROOMJAM is an intimate collection of proposals-in-progress that hope to queer expectations of/desires for productivity, collectivity, and visibility in exhibition-making.
