Fallen Fruit of Portland! a new project with Caldera Arts

Fallen Fruit is excited to announce we have been commissioned to make new work by Caldera Arts with funds from Oregon Community Foundation’s Creative Heights Award. Culminating in the fall of 2015, the residency project for Caldera focuses on the history of emigration in the United States, and explores concepts rooted in civic enterprise and the “underbelly” of a modern society. Emigration is very different today compared to what it used to be. Aeroplanes make flying from one coast to the next quick and easy, whilst removal companies and businesses like Cars Arrive Auto Relocation make moving your things and vehicles no hassle at all. But this is nothing like it used to be, and that is what this project will explore. Working with the support of several institutions such as The Portland Art Museum, Portland City Archives and in the Oregon Historical archives this series of projects explore the foundation ideas by which Portland became one of the most important cities on the west coast of North America. The art works will engage residents of Portland and Caldera artists, we will create a series of art works about the apple, people, and place. photo: Apples in Snow, Fallen Fruit, 2014, 30″ x 30″
