Mycorhization

Running from September to August 2022 at Articule in Montréal, Mycorhization was an exhibition determined to garner a sense of emergent interconnectedness.
A mycorrhizal network is the underground connection of plants by symbiont fungi. These allow plants to share resources with each other, so that if one plant has more water or sunlight it can transfer it to the others. These networks occupy a huge portion of the earth's soil, linking billions of plants and trees. So it is with good neighborhoods or artistic communities: mutual aid and sharing fuel the prosperity of all. No one can create or work without the support, help and inspiration that comes from others. With this work, the artist hopes to add to the mycorrhization of the various artistic and cultural players in the Plaza Saint-Hubert community. The Plaza has undergone many works, displacements and transformations, and in times of flux, it is necessary to nourish the roots.

For his installation, the artist presents the portraits of two actresses of the Plaza Saint-Hubert, Keithy Antoine, founder of the store Espace Urbain, and Meygan Tolley of Ausgang Plaza.
