“Found in Translation: Work by Cynthia Gregory, Christian Schmit and Greg Swiger” at Semantics Gallery is the kind of show at which you can get lost. The mostly miniature/sculptural works are tiny assemblages of objects that range from meticulously crafted to purposefully undone. Diminutive paintings, drawings, furniture, and found objects round out a densely packed gallery of seventy-three discreet pieces—more if you count...
Paul Theroux may best be known as America’s most engaging travel writer; the books that first brought him to my attention were The Great Railway Bizarre and The Old Patagonian Express , which he wrote almost four decades ago. Like Joan Didion, Theroux’s career includes writing both non-fiction and fiction, and his senses of place, landscape, weather, and character of both people and their environments are exemplary.

Greater Cincinnati continues to manifest enormous diversity in the offerings from its visual arts practitioners, and the venues which present them. Aeqai is pleased to bring you our annual double summer issue (July/August), which reflects the richness and variety of our visual culture...
As hard as it is to imagine, not many years ago the word “environment” was seldom used at all in ordinary conversation, and even less in conjunction with art. Now it’s almost a standard inclusion in everything, including paper towel commercials. One of the best, and most interesting, forays into the field is on display at AEC through September 14...
