Public Fruit Jam
Machine Project | Sunday Aug 20 2006 | from 12pm to 3pm
Fallen Fruit collective conducted a Public Jam, in which they collaborated with the citizens of Los Angeles in a communal jam-making session. We asked that the citezens bring along home-grown or public fruit (see fallenfruit.org) and any clean, empty glass jars. At the end everyone left with a jar of communal jam. Even those arriving empty handed left with jam. Vats of fun for all!
The kinds of jam we make was improvised on the fruit that people provided. The fruit was fresh amd delicious. Fallen fruit brought public fruit. We made radical and experimental jams, like basil gauva or lemon pepper jelly. We discussed the basics of jam and jelly making, pectin and bindings, as well as the communal power of shared fruit and the liberation of public fruit.
Jam with us and share the fruit of our labor!
Fallen Fruit is a collaborative project by David Burns, Matias Viegener & Austin Young
