Our Story

White Fungus is an art magazine based in Taiwan. The publication began in 2004 as a quasi political manifesto protesting the building of an inner-city motorway in Wellington, New Zealand. Copies of the first issue were printed on a photocopier, wrapped in Christmas paper and hurled anonymously through the entrances of businesses throughout the city.

In 2009 the publication's founders, Ron and Mark Hanson, relocated to Taiwan. White Fungus is now a print magazine featuring in-depth interviews and articles on art, music, history and politics. The name of the publication comes from a can of “white fungus” the Hansons discovered in their local supermarket in Taiwan. Each cover of White Fungus is derived from a scan of the can.

White Fungus has held interdisciplinary art events at galleries and venues including P.P.O.W (New York), Taipei Contemporary Art Center, ARTSPACE (Auckland) and Adam Art Gallery (Wellington). The publication is held in library collections including The Museum of Modern Art (New York), The New York Public Library (Art & Architecture Collection), Taipei Fine Art Museum, The Southbank Centre (London), Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, National Library of Australia and Te Papa (National Museum of New Zealand). White Fungus was part of the exhibition Millennium Magazines at Museum of Modern Art (February 20-May 18, 2012).
