Ken Dunn is the founder of City Farm and the Resource Center, a non-profit environmental education organization demonstrating innovative techniques for recycling and reusing materials. The Resource Center turns food scraps from restaurants and schools in the city into compost that in turn nourishes the tomatoes, peppers and other crops at City Farm. Additionally, the Resource Center’s Perishable Food Recovery Program seeks to reduce the amount of edible food that is wasted in the Chicago area by directing it to local food programs.

Amber Ginsburg
http://www.amberginsburg.com/

Amber Ginsburg is a Chicago based artist, editor, writer and educator at The University of Chicago.  She creates site-specific projects and social sculpture that insert historical scenarios into present day situations. Her work looks to the archival nature of a place, a story, or a specific historical detail and finds connections to the rich human dramas of food, architecture and language.

Ginsburg aims to activate objects as collaborators, agent-provocateurs and narrative instigators, studying the intimacy of objects and the small performances between the body and an object.  She is also interested in the performance of knowledge passed down through the making of things, sometimes called craft.  These two ends of knowing an object, how to make it and how to use it, become frameworks for performance in her audience engaged installations.
