About CCAP:

Working together, college, community, and school partners create mutually beneficial programs that promote service learning, professional development, arts integration, creativity, and community enrichment through the arts.

In conjunction with our Sun Ra exhibition, this month’s TalkingPoint brings Fred Lonberg-Holm, Chicago-based sound and conceptual artist, to discuss his work. Bring an appetite and your conversation pants!

After leading a klezmer group in New York, cellist and avantgarde composer Fred Lonberg-Holm moved to Chicago and founded the Light Box Orchestra, a rotating orchestra of jazz musicians, so named because the improvisers are switched on and off by a box of lights. He is heralded for his improvisational talent and has worked in collaboration with visual artists.

This month’s series A features Thea Goodman and Jennifer Scappettone.

Jennifer Scappettone’s current book projects include From Dame Quickly (poems), Locomotrix: Selected Poetry of Amelia Rosselli (translations from the Italian), Venice and the Digressive Invention of the Modern (a study of the obsolescent topos as crucible for modernism), and Exit 43 (an archaeology of the landfill and prosaic opera of pop-ups in progress, commissioned by Atelos). Recent work appears or is forthcoming in Bay Poetics (Faux Press, 2006), War and Peace, Volume II (O Books, 2005), Bombay Gin, Chicago Review, Drunken Boat, FourSquare, Jacket, PMLA, P-Queue, and Zoland Annual. She just moved to Chicago from Berkeley, Middletown, Brooklyn, and Sunnyside.

Part of Chicago Calling: A 24-Hour Arts Festival. (Please see www.chicagocalling.org for more information.), this segment of the festival will focus on works and performances by children and teens. This event will be facilitated by Toni Asante Lightfoot. Toni is an accomplished poet and educator, and she and Quraysh Ali Lansana co-edited Dream of a Word: The Tia Chucha Press Poetry Anthology.
