FUNGI INITIATIVE PHASE 2
MYRIADS OF THINGS
As the second edition of the long-term research project Fungi Initiative that focuses on processes and participation instead of products and outcomes, Myriads of Things is inspired by Chapter 42 of Dao De Jing that reads, “The Dao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to Myriads of Things.” Featuring four online artist-led workshops and a recipe, Myriads of Things manifests an abstract and complex set of relations that humans are entangled in, as poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.”
Myriads of Things is led by Rhona Eve Clews, Lenette Lua, Sara Rodrigues, Elena-Andreea Teleage, Sean Tseng and Sara Wu, with the generous support of an Emergency Grant by Arts Council England.
