Spectrum: The Lockwood Thompson Dialogues: Pen & Ink series is a collaborative effort between the Cleveland Public Library and Cleveland Public Art. Free and open to the public, this event will be held at the Cleveland Public Library’s Louis Stokes Wing on Thursday, December 13th at 7:15pm with a reception in the lobby prior to the conversation at 6:30pm.

The Pen & Ink series explores how words and images together have played crucial roles in storytelling and visual communication. Today’s artists and writers continue to push publishing in new directions while challenging the perceptions of high and low art, often with irreverence and razor sharp commentary.

Dave Eggers is the author of the memoir A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (2000), the novel You Shall Know Our Velocity (2002), the story collection How We Are Hungry (2004), and the novel What is the What (2006). In 1998, he founded McSweeney's, an independent book publishing house in San Francisco. Eggers' book and magazine design work has been featured in many periodicals as well as both the National Design Triennial at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and the California Design Biennial.

Moderator Michael Kimmelman is the Chief Art Critic for the New York Times and the author of several acclaimed books, most recently The Accidental Masterpiece: On the Art of Life and Vice-Versa, published in August 2006. He also wrote Portraits: Talking with Artists at the Met, the Modern, the Louvre and Elsewhere, which was named as a notable book of the year by the New York Times and The Washington Post. He has written and hosted various television shows about the arts and is also a pianist.
