Pop-up Lemonade Stand with Fallen Fruit
Sip a glass of lemonade and find yourself in the midst of a public participatory art installation with the artist collective Fallen Fruit. Draw a self-portrait onto a lemon and receive a glass of organic lemonade in exchange. Take part in collective memory-making by recording real-time stories and offer your own answers to prompts such as “tell the story about your first love” or “talk about a time in life when you were the happiest.” This free event will take place outside the Museum, adjacent to Fallen Fruit’s installation Monument to Sharing as part of Hands ON! Second Saturday.
Encore Talk: Author Rick Beyer on The Ghost Army of World War II
In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of GIs landed in France to conduct a secret mission. Armed with rubber tanks, fake artillery, and more than a few tricks up their sleeves, they put on a traveling road show of deception on the battlefields of Europe, with the German Army as their audience. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Unpack the secrets of the Ghost Army with author and filmmaker Rick Beyer.
Artist Talk: Cultivating Community with Fallen Fruit
Artists David Allen Burns and Austin Young, the collaborative duo behind the artworks of Fallen Fruit, present a survey of projects that explore material, meaning, and geographical knowledge. Currently they are installing a community garden at the Nevada Museum of Art called Monument to Sharing. The artists consider “the public realm” as their primary artistic medium, and the artwork of Fallen Fruit investigates collaborative communities and the boundaries of public spaces through mapping fruit trees in urban areas and interrogating historical public archives. Fallen Fruit has exhibited internationally, including notable projects for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Chiostro del Bramante in Rome, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, amongst others.
Join us in a conversation with the artists as we explore ways in which the community can inform ideas of place and a sense of connectedness in our capacity to share the world with others.
Following the talk, guests are invited to enjoy live music, friends and libations in the Nightingale Sky Room at the Museum’s monthly First Thursday event.
