IN-PERSON EVENT at Invisible Dog Art Center

As part of Nafas, a group exhibition celebrating the union between food and art, The Invisible Dog Art Center and MOFAD are thrilled to co-present an apple tasting and presentation by artist William Mullan.

It is estimated that there are over 7,000 identified apple cultivars, but as a culture and as consumers, we only taste and interact with a few of them. Modern capitalism has flattened this wild fruit into a global commodity. But beyond the grocery store, apples are a truly wild and strange fruit that never grows true from seed and manifests itself in all sorts of colors, shapes, sizes, and flavors. Brooklyn-based artist William Mullan invites you for a presentation on the apple’s history, from it's Miocene-beginning to its historical intersections with migration, capitalism, and culture.

The presentation will feature a tasting of dozens of rare and odd apples and Floral Terranes cider made with Long Island fruit.

Tickets are free but registration is recommended. Folks of all ages are welcome.
