SUMMARY:mycollective: Slow Growing in the Time of Trees - Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Saturday\, June 6\, 2 – 5 PM\n\n\n\nExhibition: May 23\, 2026 – June 7\, 2026\n\n\n\nLynden Sculpture Garden\, 2145 West Brown Deer RoadMilwaukee\, WI 53217\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist reception for mycollective: Slow Growing in the Time of Trees exhibition at Lynden Sculpture Garden with an unveiling of Matthew Vivirito’s Framework\, the second work in Lynden’s MATERIALIZE series of outdoor projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition\n\n\n\nSlow Growing in the Time of Trees presents speculative objects produced over the course of two growing seasons by mycollective\, a mycology-focused artist collective that brings together four creative practitioners and mushroom enthusiasts: Jim Charles\, Lane Hall\, Yevgeniya Kaganovich\, and Lisa Moline. Together\, they examine the durational nature of trees\, mushrooms and humans\, the symbiosis between trees and their human and non-human partners\, and interactions between natural and reclaimed materials over time. Experimenting with both naturally occurring and cultivated living mushroom cultures\, mycollective generates work with visible fungal fruits and invisible mycelial networks intertwined with trees. mycollective will be joined by guest Kate Beutner. \n\n\n\nWorking at the Lynden Sculpture Garden\, where Yevgeniya Kaganovich has long been an artist in residence\, mycollective bridges the space between humans\, sculpture\, and the landscape. To grow mushrooms\, the artists have been making sculptural forms out of accessible materials—recycled plastic bags\, cardboard\, birch bark\, tree branches—and filling them with spore-inoculated grain and straw. These forms are then installed in and around the tree-sculptures that Kaganovich began in 2019 as part of her residency\, Tree Intuits Chair. While these experiments are always visible on the grounds\, Kaganovich and her collaborators also offers programs\, such as a fall tree and mushroom walk\, that introduce the public to the specifics of their project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\n\n\n\nmycollective is a mycology-focused artist collective that brings together four creative practitioners and mushroom enthusiasts: Jim Charles\, Lane Hall\, Yevgeniya Kaganovich\, and Lisa Moline.  Kaganovich is currently in her second artist residency at the Lynden Sculpture Garden\, where she is working on Tree Intuit Chair\, a portion of her divergent fates project. She has a longstanding working relationship with Lynden\, which was home to grow\, a previous durational project. Kaganovich\, Charles\, Hall\, and Moline were colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for many years\, and began working together as mycollective\, experimenting with myceliated sculptures\, more recently. Kaganovich was a 2025-2026 C21 (UWM College of Letters & Sciences Center for 21st Century Studies) Fellow\, and mycollective began their work at Lynden as part of a 2024-2025 C21 Collaboratory that included Kate Beutner. Hall and Moline have been pursuing creative research as the collaborative team badscience for over 25 years. They are also the co-founders of the Overpass Light Brigade.
