Mycelium

What happens when thirteen artists share soil? MYCELIUM is the result — a show of varied forms (painting, works on paper, assemblage, video) by artists whose practices range from the conceptual to the deeply material.

Featuring Lena Cobangbang, Frances Abrigo, Rem San Pedro, Pam Hopilos, Jethro Jocson, Troy Silvestre, Gerry Castro, Wani Pilar, Tet Tabilon, Remster, Doo, Mohini, and Roman Soleno.

May their works entangle, spread, decompose, fertilize.

Join us for the opening on September 17, 4–11 PM

Mycelium

Organized and curated by Rem San Pedro

Beneath the forest floor, mycelium forms a vast hidden network. It’s not the mushroom we see above ground, but the network of tiny threads beneath that link trees, plants, and soil, moving nutrients, sending signals, and keeping the forest alive.

Communities can move like that too. Some of us exist between circles that may never meet on their own: a friend in one space, a collaborator in another, a passing connection somewhere else. Each of us might have never met, yet through one person, threads are held together.

This exhibition grows from that idea. Acting as the mycelium, san pedro connects artists whose paths might not otherwise cross. The role is discreet. It doesn’t announce itself, but instead creates the conditions for different roots and branches to thrive side by side.

Think of the last time someone introduced you to an opportunity, or invited you into a new space, or simply reminded you that you belonged. Chances are, a kind of “Mycelium” was at work. Someone who made the connection without needing to be seen for it.

This show is a tribute to those hidden networks, and to the people who move between or carry them across worlds. They shoq us that connections don’t always have to be visible to be real. Like mycelium, they weave worlds together with impact that grows over time.
