The Redcliff Mycological Research Institute (RMRI) is a nine month
long project by artist Dominic Thomas
in collaboration with
STATION, the artists’ research and development unit based
in the old fireboat station at Bristol docks. The RMRI laboratory
is located 50 metres from STATION in the old donkey stable which
is part of Redcliff caves. Here, Dominic will carry out experiments
and research into the culture, cultivation and cooking of mushrooms
and other fungi. During the spring and autumn he will be leading
a number of field trips at various locations throughout the country
in search of the real and metaphorical fruits of the fungal world.
Like
fruiting fungi, it's all a question of location
and timing. |
