ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Experience a new public participatory art commission by
Los Angeles–based art collaborative Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young) created in celebration of human rights, marriage equality, and love.

Fallen Fruit of the Skirball is the latest in the artists’ ongoing series of community-based projects that use fruit as a medium to explore social engagement. The exhibition features a “commitment document” co-authored by Fallen Fruit and
the public and inspired by a seventeenth-century ketubbah (Jewish marriage contract), now on view in the Skirball Museum. Over the course of the six-month artist residency, the document and a selection of portraits of people who love each other—all collected through public participation—will become part of
an immersive art installation that features specially designed wallpaper created from photographs of pomegranate fruits and trees in Southern California.

Participate in the artist residency—Your words
and personal photographs will help to inform Fallen Fruit’s project. Visit skirball.org/fallen-fruit to find out how your attitudes towards love and relationships will help to shape the commissioned work.

Fallen Fruit is an art collaboration originally conceived in 2004 by David Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young. Since 2013, David and Austin have continued the collaborative work.
