When Trees Dream

Open -

Curated by Rina Yoon and John Schuerman

Do trees dream? In early evening trees speak to one another, it鈥檚 been shown, with a steady hum pulsing through below-ground fungal networks. You can hear them, the trees, whispering, crackling between the forest canopy and understory. It鈥檚 an alien language but communication nonetheless, as ancient as the stars. Trees are nature鈥檚 philosophers, and their dreams are as complicated as ours, if not more so.

In this exhibition, seven artists eavesdrop on dreaming forests, parsing the wisdom of trees from their dreams and wishes. They whisper in our ears and we listen鈥攚e listen quietly and carefully. What they find is not that trees are nature鈥檚 great loners but take part in an extensive symbiotic network of living things.
