Jason Fulford: The Mushroom Collection

Minneapolis

Published by Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Photographer Jason Fulford’s Mushroom Collection project began with a set of photographs of wild mushrooms found at a flea market. These anonymous photographs inspired Fulford to create his own collection of photographs, publications, sculptures and performances, culminating in a final exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and this accompanying catalogue. In the exhibition, the original found photographs are displayed alongside Fulford’s own photographs and videos. The show continues through the museum’s other galleries, where Fulford spread additional mushrooms to interact with works in the permanent collection. In a similar spirit, the catalogue invites readers to curate interventions with works from the MIA’s permanent collection by providing color reproductions of Fulford’s photographs--bound into the book on perforated stamp sheets--that can be affixed on the following pages according to the reader’s preference. Limited stock available.

Jason Fulford: Raising Frogs for $ $ $

Published by The Ice Plant

Jason Fulford has arranged his third collection of photographs into eight distinct chapters that can be read as a game, a series of essays, an abstract visual narrative or all of the above. "The intention of this edit and layout," Fulford explains, "is to create as many relationships as possible between the pictures as well as the chapters. I like the idea of a meticulously planned-out event that remains unpredictable." The work in Raising Frogs for $ $ $ was selected from the photographer's personal archive, from images taken in various countries between 1997 and 2005. Fulford's photographs have been used on book covers by Don Delillo, John Updike, Bertrand Russell, Terry Eagleton, Ha Jin and many others. His work frequently appears in Harper's and The New York Times Magazine. He lives in Brooklyn and Scranton, PA, and is a cofounder of J&L Books.

Jason Fulford: The Mushroom Collector, Limited Edition

LIMITED EDITION

Edited by Lorenzo de Rita.
Published by The Soon Institute

As photographer Jason Fulford recently learned firsthand, mushrooms have a way of growing and spreading wherever they touch ground. It all started when a friend of Fulford’s gave him a box, found at a flea market, full of photos of mushrooms--unassuming pictures taken by an unknown but almost certainly amateur photographer, apparently as notes for some mycological studies. Fulford’s art photographs--aside from his well-known book Dancing Pictures, which depicted people getting down to their favorite songs--are usually of staid, quasi-mute objects: a smashed Dorito chip overrun with ants, two bronzed doorknobs spooning, the blank back of a street sign. Yet these mushroom images got stuck in Fulford’s mind, like a bad song sometimes does, and they started to grow in his own work. The Mushroom Collector combines some of the original flea-market mushroom pictures with his own images and text by the artist about the project.

Signed and numbered limited edition of 50. Each copy comes with one of ten 8x10-inch Analog C-prints signed (and printed) by the artist. Fulford's signature appears upon the artwork enclosed in the book, as well as upon the page inside the book where that image is published.
