The sprawling project involves fifteen artists and collectives, fifteen farms, two group museum shows and additional site-specific installations.
, a tree-grafting project in Syracuse, New York, for which he grafts forty varieties of stone fruit onto single trees.
He’s following the same path here, and calling it Tree of Forty Fruit Boulder. In the fall of 2021, he planted four Dolgo Crabapple base trees; the following spring, he grafted twenty to thirty heritage apple buds or branches collected in ditches and backyards along the Front Range. “They are all kinds and sizes of apple, from tiny crabapples to a big variety called 20 Ounce,” Kopke says. “It’s like seeing the history of America.
But there were growing pains. “One time, the goats got out and ate all the bark off one apple tree, so now we’re down a tree — two years lost,” she says. But Van Aken replaced the tree to regraft, and the project continues. “What’s exciting about it for me is how it’s a big experiment,” Kopke adds. “We’re asking people to create specific projects, but some of them are still being worked, or we don't know the final outcome. Grafting has been a traditional technique for centuries, and it’s cool to think of it as a way to preserve dying varieties.”
Kopke recommends visiting many parts of the project exhibition to get the full impact. “There’s a ton of programming and activation days at each farm, plus events and workshops at BMoCA and Longmont,” she notes. “There are so many stories presented, every one a pathway to one’s relationship to the land and nature.
