About the work:
Jan Mun’s polished mud balls, made from soil and water collected at multiple sites within the NYC watershed, function as both sculptural objects and carriers of living ecological relations. Drawing on the research of ecologist Suzanne Simard, the mud balls contain mycorrhizal fungi—subterranean systems that enable trees to exchange carbon, water, and nutrients across species lines. These fungal networks challenge human-centered ideas of individuality, revealing forests as socially entangled systems. Mun constructs two horizontal lines of shelving from Douglas fir and birch lumber, the tree species central to Simard’s research. Working with
dorodango, a Japanese art form that transforms mud and water into polished spheres, the installation traces the presence of otherwise invisible organisms, rendering interspecies cooperation visible through material form.

“Debugging the Earth” is open today 12-5pm—come visit! The exhibition will be on view one extra day through Sunday, March 22nd!

“Debugging the Earth” is a group exhibition organized by Michael Assiff. Featured artists include André Magaña, Carly Mandel, Catherine Telford Keogh, Jan Mun, Kahlil Robert Irving, Michael Assiff, and Serena Chang

Excerpt from Assiff’s exhibition text:

“Debugging the Earth asks the viewer to consider the inherent violence of inquiring into both the human-built and natural world with an engineer’s mindset: extraction, dissection and reconstitution. The exhibition surveys artists working at points of compression between deep time, industry, and the corporeal body/body politic; rendering goods and biologics in order to disturb, to reveal and to “penetrate the mist-enveloped regions” of this Earth.”
