Fallen Fruit, the artist collective known for teaching Angelinos how to enjoy fruit grown in public spaces, debuts its first solo exhibition, “United Fruit.” Juxtaposing the seductive pop imagery of the banana with the corrupt South American banana corporations, Fallen Fruit unearths the complexities of this ubiquitous fruit with a series of photographs and video installations. The opening reception, complete with bananas for eating and playing around with, will feature a participatory performance “Are You Happy to See Me?” Exploring the social significance of the world’s most popular fruit could not be tastier.
