We will be mapping Linz, leading nocturnal neighborhood forages and premiering our new video called Double Standard. Ars Electronica is in its 29th year as the one of the most important media arts festivals in the world and this year its theme will be A New Cultural Economy РThe Limits of Intellectual Property, a vision of the present and future that imagines cultural and artistic exchange and remixing as a key indicator of the success of current and future generations.

Join us on August 17th for “SALSA SALSA – A celebration of Love Apples,” hosted by Farmlab. An afternoon event to encourage community-based conversations about public space, art actions, and the neighborhoods we live in. Home made salsas and music and dancing will embellish this free event! 
This event is also a thank you to the artists, art and community organizers without whom Love Apples would have failed. These include: Dorit Cypis (Foreign Exchanges), Jenna Didier of Materials & Applications, Jon Lapointe & Otoño Luján of Side Street Projects, Jay Belloli from the Armory, and Zazu Faure & the others in the Glassell Park group of gardeners. In particular we’d like to thank Al Nodal and the Department of Cultural Affairs, including Joe Smoke, Pat Gomez, Nicole Gordillo, and Felicia Filer. They are all invited to come and speak informally on their perspectives on public art in LA today. Please come celebrate and meet some amazing artists and civic leaders on the frontlines of public art and community activism. August 17th from 3 to 7 p.m.

Until Saturday, Feb. 10, Fallen Fruit has an installation as part of the group show, ‘Paradox and Practice’: Architecture in the Wake of Conceptualism. The exhibition “re-thinks the legacy of Conceptualism vis-à-vis the philosophical operation of paradox. Specifically, the notion of “site,” as it exists between art and architecture, is reconsidered. Thinking about paradox and conceptualism is no formal exercise; it is a political imperative.” Symbolic Architecture. At the University Art Gallery at UC Irvine. Curated by Juli Carson & Nana Last. Room Gallery | University of California, Irvine | Irvine, CA 92697

“Two large canvases that face each other both depict city hall, except in one, protestors’ faces are missing. This can be interpreted as some sort of message to spectators of this piece to be a part of the Fallen Fruit movement.” -Eugenia Wong
