The ancient Greeks were the pioneers in establishing the fundamentals of many areas of human inquiry. They were the first to write history in an analytical sense. Likewise, in philosophy, mathematics, and science the Greeks believed that human intelligence could explain the unknown. Plato and Aristotle created the first and most important viewpoints on aesthetics. […]

Summers in Connecticut with Marilyn Monroe
September 15th, 2012 | by Daniel Brown | published in *, September 2012
Editor’s note: Since this is the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death, and since her fame continues to grow ( a new twist includes some feminist writers claiming her as one of theirs ex post facto), aeqai is reprinting an article I wrote in 2004 and was picked up by Weston (Conn.) Monthly, where the […]
We Don’t Need Another Hero: “You Are My Superhero” at the Dayton Art Institute
September 15th, 2012 | by Keith Banner | published in September 2012
Superheroes get on my nerves. Enough already. In our fan-boy, Big-Baby-Man culture, where Batman and Spiderman are given as much significance and gravitas as King Lear and Hamlet, action figures have become prized status symbols, cialis online pharmacy and Comic-Con has become the main place to measure pop-culture significance, it’s easy to see why. But […]
bi-Lateral Thinking
September 15th, 2012 | by Stephen Slaughter | published in On View, September 2012
Last Saturday I was fortunate enough to have plans, and luckier still those plans included attending a multi media event at Third Party Gallery in Cincinnati’s West End. The performance was the zenith of the annual art exhibition Autumedia, a show held, in part, at Semantics Gallery, featuring local sound and video artists whose current […]
Historical Rabbit Hash
September 15th, 2012 | by Shawn Daniell | published in On View, September 2012
Take a stroll down the main drag of Historical Rabbit Hash, Kentucky and you never know what you may find, whether it is motorcyclists, hippies, artists, musicians or a local relaxing on the porch of the general store. Recently, on a late summer day my fiancée and I decided to take an afternoon adventure on […]
Letter From Richmond, VA: Judith Godwin and Arlene Shechet at the Anderson Gallery
September 15th, 2012 | by Amanda Dalla Villa Adams | published in Digest, September 2012
Pairing the work of Judith Godwin and Arlene Shechet seems odd. But that’s just what Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts has done in Judith Godwin: Early Abstractions and Arlene Shechet: That Time at the Anderson Gallery in Richmond, Virginia. The two rooms on the first floor feature Shechet’s work while Godwin garners the […]
Geometrically Ordered Design: The High Five
September 15th, 2012 | by Dustin Pike | published in Features, September 2012
“It is only necessary to make war with five things; with the maladies of the body, the ignorances of the mind, with the passions of the body, with the seditions of the city and the discords of families.” -Pythagoras This article is my fifth article pertaining to the design field. Design in essence cannot be […]

“Lionel ASBO: State of England” By Martin Amis
September 15th, 2012 | by Daniel Brown | published in September 2012
The much–and deservedly–praised English writer Martin Amis, newly moved to Brookyln (his wife is American), offers his latest novel, Lionel ASBO: State of England. Although it’s nearly impossible to critique or argue the quality of Amis’ prose, and one delights in his splendid word choices and tight structures, this novel falls flat and is a […]
Two New English Novelists
September 15th, 2012 | by Daniel Brown | published in September 2012
I remember when Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, and Julian Barnes were still the angry young men of English literature. All three are now in their sixties, and their early promise has more than panned out. But England is still giving us young writers of great merit; two of them, Jo Baker and Harriet Lane, have […]
