Fallen Fruit David Burns: Born in 1970, Los Angeles, California Austin Young: Born in 1966, Reno, Nevada
In the eyes of Fallen Fruit—aka artists David Burns and Austin Young—everyone in the world is connected by produce. “It crosses every cultural boundary on the planet—it doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are, everyone still eats the same banana,” said Burns. The duo’s work has consistently taken fruit as a subject for serious inquiry into the thin boundaries between public and private property. They explore the ways in which things like melons, lemons, and berries tell stories about the people who consume them. http://www.artnews.com/2019/01/09/15-los-angeles-artists-watch/
