The purpose of the Peter E. Pool Research Fellowship is to encourage serious engagements with materials held in the Center for Art + Environment Archive Collections, as well as the art collections of the Nevada Museum of Art.
Fallen Fruit (2023-2024)The Fallen Fruit Collective, composed of artists David Allen Burns and Austin Young, was commissioned by the Museum in 2022 to create a large-scale public work of art entitled Monument to Sharing. This living installation is the first element of a multi-phased Museum expansion scheduled for completion in early 2025. Monument to Sharing involves planting approximately twenty-one fruit-bearing trees, a berry patch and a series of edible pollinators that the public is welcome to “harvest,” inviting guests to explore ideas of generosity, agricultural production and the meaning behind “community.” The project will be completed in 2030. The fellowship was awarded specifically for the Center to collect a 20-year retrospective archive of the collaborative’s work.
