SUMMARY:An Ancient Dream\, An Epic Poem\, and Daring Searches by Intrepid Architects/Archaeologists\, Unearth an Architectural Treasure And Solve a Centuries-Old Mystery: a Lecture by Margery al Chalabi
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting lecture on architecture and archeology.\nThe story starts with a team of archaeologists from the British Museum returning to a site in Iraq eighty years after its initial excavation by the French. \nThose earlier excavations led – eventually – to astonishing finds in both palatial structures and a major library of the world’s first written language – Sumerian – on 100\,000 shards of clay. \nThis latter find precipitated a search for the region’s history and ancient structures – the latter\, a search for several temples called The Eninnu. \nThe search required the archaeologists learn to read a language that had been dead – or altered/modified by generations of conquests and world-wide population movements – over millennia. And\, as an unintended consequence\, discovered the world’s oldest\, most-known\, most-revered\, most-translated piece of literature – The Epic of Gilgamesh. \n5:00 pm – Bar opens; 6:30 pm – Dinner ($40); 7:30 pm – Program \nRSVP by June 5

SUMMARY:Breaking the Illusion of Consensus: American Esoterica\, Microsocieties\, & Outsider Literature (An "Artist-in-Residence" program)
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday evening\, June 23rd\, for a program presented by Artist-in-Residence Logan Berry.\n“It’s hard to be an atheist in such an age\, so why not make up your own religion?” asks poet Kathleen Rooney in her thought-provoking new poetry collection Where Are the Snows. Three prolific writers will engage in a roundtable discussion about Rooney’s question via the spiritual dimensions of their books and writing practices\, as well as how they relate (or don’t) to our time of fractured consensus reality. At this program\, presented by AIR and writer Logan Berry\, we’ll welcome Chicago-based authors Maryse Meijer (Heartbreaker\, Rag\, The Seventh Mansion) and Kathleen Rooney (Where Are the Snows\, Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey\, Lilian Boxfish Takes a Walk)\, together with NYC-based author David Leo Rice (The New House\, Drifters\, A Room in Dodge City). The program features select readings\, authors-interviewing-authors\, and spirited conversation. We’ll easily join in the conversation and mingle with the authors at a book signing afterwards. \n5:00 p.m. Bar opens\n6:00 p.m. Dinner: $40\n7:00 p.m. Program\nProgram-only seating: $5 \nRSVP by June 21
