Fallen Fruit Factory with Susan Weber
FALLEN FRUIT FACTORY a public participatory project by Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young).  see the Hammer Blog Post

The Fallen Fruit Factory is a public participatory art project that allows the public to collaborate with Fallen Fruit and contemporary artists to create fast-art pieces. The Factory is co-hosted by a contemporary artist and Fallen Fruit and creates an immersive art experience where the public can participate in making works of art. In exchange for working on Factory art projects, the public gets Fruit Dollars redeemable for Fallen Fruit or Factory art at the Fruitique! or online at the Fallen Fruit store. Projects are always group-authored, meaning there isn’t one person who creates each individual work. Often the works are inspired both by the guest artist and Fallen Fruit, but it is the stranger or passerby who sets the color, tone, or unique dimensionality of each piece. No two works of art will be the same!

Join Fallen Fruit at 10920 Kinross Avenue this Sunday, December 15 from 12–4PM for another Fallen Fruit Factory!

Join us on Saturday, November 9th  at Ojai Art Festival! !

Ojai Mulberry Rye is the latest Neighborhood Infusions created by Fallen Fruit in collaboration with Ojai Beverage Company for OAF 2013. The Porch Gallery is the location for the public participatory performance hosted by David Burns and Austin Young of Fallen Fruit in which tastes of local mulberry infused rye are served to the public also with social prompts that question childhood memories and emotional connections to fruit. An ongoing project by Fallen Fruit in which local fruit is infused into a distilled spirit and name it for the surrounding neighborhood. One of the questions  that interests us in thinking about local places is to determine what the essence of that neighborhood is, to think about its unique qualities connect community. The question Neighborhood Infusions asks is tinged with a bit of irony: can you capture the essence of a place in a bottle? It is served by docents (rather than bartenders) who take time to interpret the work for those interested in consuming it.

1. FRUITIQUE! part of the Hammer Museum‘s LA2050 project, Arts ReStore LA

Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young) collaborate with artists to create a site-specific art installation that functions both as an exhibition and also as a retail store open to the public.  The project combines curated and consigned art works  into a Fallen Fruit installation project using our fruit wallpaper as a common ground.  The public is invited to participate at the ‘Fallen Fruit Factory’ and  re-imagine found objects (hand-picked items from thrift stores with fruit as a theme) into art objects that explore the margins  of the every day and contemporary art.

Fallen Fruit of Atlanta

Curated by Stuart Horodner

Opening, Sat, Oct 19, 2013, 7pm, during ART PARTY

Fallen Fruit is the Los Angeles-based collaborative team of David Burns and Austin Young. ACAC has commissioned the artists to produce works that use fruit as the filter through which they examine the distinct context of the south. In recent months, they have spent time in Atlanta doing research and meeting with various artists, educators, farmers, and church members. They will exhibit an installation featuring wallpaper, videos, paintings, photographs, and maps, developed in collaboration with Atlanta organizations including High Museum of Art, SCAD Atlanta, Souls Grown Deep Foundation, and WonderRoot.

We are looking for portraits from families of Atlanta to become part of a new exhibition at ACAC, opening October 19th during Art Party. We want images of mothers, fathers, children, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents! Fallen Fruit has collaborated on fruit- and art-related projects with institutions and the public around the world for more than 9 years.  This is their first major art exhibition in the South.

Things we are interested in finding
We want drawings, paintings, or photographs that capture a story about you or your family history.  Maybe the picture that comes to mind is recent?  Maybe it is an older painting from your home?  Maybe you have something in storage that shares part of your family history?  Maybe your grandfather or grandmother was a civic leader? Whether hand drawn, child-like, masterfully painted or photographed, these portraits will symbolically evoke meaning of a place and create a “group portrait” of citizenship in Atlanta – the historic gateway to the South. Our exhibition, Fallen Fruit of Atlanta, draws from the permanent collections of The Hammonds House Museum, The Atlanta History Center, The Swan Couch House, the Margaret Mitchell House and The Wren’s Nest among others, and combines these collections with personal archives.

How to get involved
Please submit jpgs of your portraits by e-mail to [email protected] with the subject header FALLEN FRUIT, along with a brief description about the photograph, painting or drawing. Images must be submitted by September 30, 2013. The submissions will be reviewed by the artists before October 5, 2013, and participating families will be contacted. You will need to deliver the selected works to the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center from October 7-11,  2013.  Please include your contact name, e-mail, and preferred phone number with your email submission. We are also interested in words of advice that your parents or grandparents passed on to you and don’t forget to explain the family portrait in any way that is meaningful.  If your works are desired and included in the exhibition, they must be picked up the week after the show ends, from December 16-20, 2013. Please note: your materials will be protected while at the Center, but cannot be insured as “artworks” because of their personal value. You are potentially loaning these objects with full knowledge of this.

Remember:
When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap all the way to the edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not pick your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger. Leviticus 19:9-10

For questions, please contact Stuart Horodner, ACAC Artistic Director, at [email protected] or 404.688.1970 x214, or Rachel Reese, Communications Manager: [email protected] or x216.

PUBLIC ATLAS!

Fallen Fruit and WonderRoot invite everyone to share  a story and art! Write , draw, photograph or paint!  Fallen Fruit will create a map marking the locations of each artist’s work. PUBLIC ATLAS will be on view Sunday, October 20^th  in Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown in Atlanta  where participants from all over the city can collect images and stories at specific sites throughout the neighborhood to create their own artbook: PUBLIC ATLAS- by Everyone who participates.

The PUBLIC ATLAS is in association with the exhibition Fallen Fruit of Atlanta, Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, October 19th-December 14th, 2013. Follow the link for the more information about the opening of Fallen Fruit of Atlanta and Atlanta Contemporary Art Center.

PARTICIPATE:

Works will be small 4”x5” in area size and may include; drawing, painting, text, photography, performance scripts, meditations, etc. Email us a pdf or jpg of your art.   If you are inspired to participate in a way that is within the context of the PUBLIC ATLAS but not able to exist on a small page, email us and we will figure it out.

RSVP to [email protected] by October 10.  You will have an additional 5 days to create your piece for the project.

WALK THE ATLAS!

Sunday October 20th from 3-5pm, the streets of Reynoldstown and Cabbagetown will become the sites where everyone can collect stories and compile their own Atlas.[1] Depending on the route you take and the connections you make, the pages in your Atlas will be unique and create your own personal field guide for future explorations.

AGORA: 4th Athens Bienalle 2013

At a time when the financial crisis in Greece and elsewhere is reaching a highpoint, the 4th Athens Biennale (AB4) cannot but respond to this bleak situation through a pertinent question: Now what? Using the empty building of the former Athens Stock Exchange as its main venue, AB4 proposes AGORA not only as a place of exchange and interaction, but also as an ideal setting for critique.

Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young) made two new public fruit maps, an olive wallpaper design, and performed ‘Lemonade Stand’ in front of the former Stock Exchange.
