One with the Sun

Here's a few snaps from my Cincinnati experience 

including my solo show at Carl Solway Gallery

up through March 31

Carl Solway Gallery

Paik and "Bucky" Fuller in the racks - 

2 artists that Carl worked closely with 

 

Me with Carl Solway in front of my painting Strange Radiance

Installing the show

 With my dad who flew in from KC for the opening

 

Me with Sliverstar

a couple of kinetic sculptures by Diane Landry

were installed in the office. A lovely transformation

of plastic bottles into something ecstatic and sublime

 

A view of John Torreano's concurrent solo show Dark Matters Everywhere

John's video of an art history stand-up comedy performance

 

John Torreano and friend in front of one of his paintings

I love these Suzy Lake photos which were up in the gallery's office

sightseeing in Cincinnati - Findlay market

Warhol's screen tests at the Contemporary Art Center

Art from the middle east at the Cincinnati Art Museum

Matisse at the Cincinnati Art Museum

Sam Gilliam at the Cincinnati Art Museum  

Rookwood pottery at the Cincinnati Art Museum

a couple views of Cincinnati - very scenic with lot's of 

brick buildings surrounded by hills and the Ohio river

looks like Germany

 

 

art deco building ornament downtown

the Roebling bridge over the Ohio river - a precursor to the Brooklyn Bridge

Looking over the river to Kentucky - next time I want to check out the Bourbon Trail

John Torreano and Michael Solway at Scotti's restaurant

one of the oldest in the area with a great atmosphere

 

a recently renovated building in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood

 At Tucker's - Thomas had to try Goetta which sounds German, 

but is a Cincinnati invention combining oats and pork into a breakfast delight

I had shrimp and grits

A gallery in Over-the-Rhine called "We are all Vikings"

 

one of many beautiful brick buildings in the OTR

 

I wanted to try this tiny new restaurant Abigail Street

but never got a chance - next time!
