White Fungus is about to release its 18th print issue. The new edition features an 80-page interview with Eileen Myles, a deep dive into Hilma af Klint and the occult roots of modern art, and a photo essay by Yao Jui-Chung on animatronic displays of hell from temples in Taiwan and Singapore, accompanied by a text on the Chinese conception of hell.

《白木耳雜誌》剛發行了其沉寂許久的姊妹刊物——中英雙語的《潛意識餐廳》之第五期；適逢臺中美術館開幕之際出刊，同時這次發行也是與該館首檔展覽——《萬物的邀約》（2025年12月13日至2026年4月12日）相關合作計畫的一部分。

White Fungus has released the fifth edition of its long-dormant sister publication, The Subconscious Restaurant. This new bilingual (English and Chinese) issue is being released on the occasion of the opening of Taichung Art Museum.

Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe have released twin albums Lateral and Luminal on Verve Records. To mark the occasion, the duo partnered with KCRW on Feeling of the Day, a new series of radio spots exploring words for emotions with no equivalent in English. The first segment introduces “ailyak,” a Bulgarian word for the art of going slow and enjoying the process. Between studio sessions, Wolfe and Eno answered questions from White Fungus editor Ron Hanson about their evolving collaboration.

Yao Jui-Chung is one of Taiwan’s most prolific and esteemed contemporary artists. In 2020, White Fungus editor Ron Hanson interviewed Yao for a major profile on the occasion of the artist’s mid-career retrospective, Republic of Cynic, at C-LAB in Taipei. The feature was to be published in a new online Japanese art magazine commissioned by a Tokyo art collector. After the project was aborted due to a clash over the publication’s title, this profile sat dormant in our archives for almost four years. It has now been published for the first time.

Sydney noise musician Lucas Abela, AKA Justice Yeldham, is one of the avant-garde's most electrifying performers. Playing music by orally manipulating mic'd-up shards of glass, he employs a range of unusual vocal and rhythmic techniques. His performances can be extreme, even bloody, but are also notable for the rich diversity of sounds he achieves through this rudimentary instrument. White Fungus editor Ron Hanson spoke to Abela about his unique musical trajectory and how a pandemic-enforced break from the stage altered his approach.
