SUMMARY:Grant Park at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:GRANT PARK AT A CROSSROAD \nGrant Park has at least two identities: one as a neighborhood park for the more than 110\,000 residents living Downtown\, and two\, as a regional park hosting a wide array of programs for the City of Chicago and our region.   These identities come into conflict when major events\, like NASCAR and Lollapalooza\, push out local and neighborhood park uses.  Leslie Recht\, CD ’03\, is President of the Grant Park Advisory Council. and Jim Wales\, CD ’21\, is the Council Vice President and also the President of South Loop Neighbors. They outlined the status of Grant Park\, provided some of the ideas for improvements and solicited input from the attendees. \nThe Council formed an art and monument advisory committee which includes several members of Cliff Dwellers. We will discuss some of the art projects that have been reviewed by that advisory committee and the process that was used for this review. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
DESCRIPTION:The newly formed Cliff Dwellers Theatre Club secured a limited block of tickets to see the Goodman Theatre’s world premiere musical adaptation of the best selling novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.  The Cliff Dwellers’ unique connection to the show comes via the Goodman having borrowed the Club’s replica of the renowned “Bird Girl” sculpture (now a well-known symbol of the story’s setting of Savannah\, Georgia) to feature in the production. \nPrior to the performance\, Theatre Club members were treated a special Southern-themed three-course dinner developed by the Cliff Dwellers own amazing Chef Erick. \nThe Theatre Club will be planning additional group events in the months to come\, and all Cliff Dwellers are welcome to join the outings! \n

SUMMARY:Summer Jazz Night
DESCRIPTION:Lucky Cliff Dwellers experienced an outstanding musical evening as two of the Cliff Dwellers’ favorite Artists-in-Residence took the stage at the Cliff Dweller’s July Jazz Night. \nThaddeus Tukes is an artist on the move — and not just because he’s busy. As one of vanishingly few vibraphonists in the city\, Tukes\, 30\, is among the heirs apparent to Chicago’s straight-ahead jazz community. Thaddeus’ journey from an After School Matters teen to an ASM instructor\, vibraphonist\, educator\, and advocate for music therapy is a testament to the transformative power of music. His story serves as an inspiration to aspiring musicians and demonstrates the importance of ASM programs in nurturing young talent. \nEmma Dayhuff\, bassist\, has followed her musical passions to places beyond what she imagined from her childhood home on Sourdough Canyon Road in Bozeman\, Montana. She is a graduate of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz Performance in Los Angeles and is a nationally and internationally touring artist.

SUMMARY:Andrew Light sculptures featured in new art installation
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Opening!\nThe Cliff Dwellers’ newest art installation features the works of renown sculptor\, Andrew Light.  Currently based in central Kentucky\,  his work has been exhibited throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. Displaying frequently in outdoor and gallery exhibitions\, Mr. Light has numerous original works held in museum\, municipal\, and private collections. Mr. Light prefers the use of fabricated metals for his sculptures\, as they afford a high degree of plasticity and durability for his expressions. \nThree of our Artists in Residence have pieces now on display on the Gallery Wall: \nIsaac Couch: Most of Isaac’s current work aims to redefine his conflicting identity as African American. He reaches back into his own personal past as well as the history of this country to find himself within it. Through a reconstructive fashion and fiber art practice\, working with his hands versus his fingers\, Isaac questions the traditions of Haute Couture. He mirrors the violence we see around us by physically tearing\, burning\, stapling\, knotting\, and puncturing symbolic materials that tie back to his identity. \nTaylor Fujisawa: Taylor is both a traditional and visual artist. He prides himself on his ability to work with a wide array of materials\, and is constantly trying to learn methods and abilities within the visual arts. Skills he has learned include: drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, jewelry making\, sewing\, costume creation and design\, printmaking\, digital art\, and stained glass work. \nJesse Pace: Jesse is a painter\, photographer\, and musician. These diverse forms of expression converge without the need\, nor the expectation to create singular narrative that examines the body\, fantasy\, horror\, memory\, and the effects of symbols on our unconscious minds and the human spirit. The paintings record his physical movements\, leaving their impressions on its surface. recording the automatic movements of his mind and body. The photos are a different kind of constructed reality. \n

SUMMARY:Bloomsday at the Cliff Dwellers
DESCRIPTION:The illustration of James Joyce was done by Leonid Osseny. Mr. Osseny has done extensive illustrations pertaining to Ulysses. His work was exhibited at the 19th International James Joyce Symposium in Dublin\, the Irish American Heritage Center in Chicago\, and at the Evanston Public Library. Reproduced with permission. \nThe 2024 program of James Joyce readings and accompanying musical performance in celebration of Bloomsday and James Joyce.  was presented by Cliff Dwellers members Michele Kurlander\, Joan Pantsios\, Howard A. Raik\, Richard Reeder\, and Robert Emmett Reidy providing the readings\, while Richard Boldrey and Natalie Forough supplied the musical interludes. The production was produced by Richard Reeder. \nUlysses is a modernist novel by the Irish writer James Joyce\, originally published in Paris in 1922.  Its famously-demonstrated stream of consciousness technique\, along with its careful structuring and literary allusions have made it one of the most celebrated novels written in the English language. \nThe date of June 16th\, the setting of Ulysses\, is an annually-celebrated event (especially in Dublin) known as Bloomsday\, which takes it’s name from the novel’s protagonist\, Leopold Bloom.  (For logistical reasons\, our celebration of Bloomsday will take place the day before\, on June 15th.) \nMembers Michele Kurlander\, Joan Pantsios\, Howard A. Raik\, Richard Reeder\, and Robert Emmett Reidy provided the readings\, while Richard Boldrey and Natalie Forough performed musically at Bloomsday 2024\, a celebration of the writings of James Joyce. Richard Reeder produced the event. \nThe performance was dedicated to the memory of Steve Diedrich and Claudia Traudt. \n  \n
