Fallen Fruit Presents The Fruit of LACMA

EATLACMA was a year-long investigation into food, art, culture and politics. Fusing the richness of LACMA's permanent collection with the ephemerality of food and the natural growth cycle, EATLACMA's projects considered food as a common ground that explores the social role of art and ritual in community and human relationships.  EATLACMA unfolded seasonally, with artist's gardens planted and harvested on the museum campus, hands-on public events, and a concurrent exhibition, Fallen Fruit Presents The Fruit of LACMA. EATLACMA was curated by Fallen Fruit—David Burns, Matias Viegener and Austin Young—and LACMA curator Michele Urton.
