Contemporary Cincinnati Written by Steve Wilson and Alice Gray Stites Today, exciting contemporary art is not just happening in New York, LA, London, and Paris. Our region boasts a wealth of outstanding projects by artists from all over the world. The Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati has been presenting an especially dynamic program of exhibitions, especially since Raphaela Platow became director 26 slmag.net
in 2007. Often joined by friends, colleagues, and other art-lovers, Laura Lee and I have made the hour-and-a-half pilgrimage from Louisville to see installations at the CAC recently. We have seen exhibitions that have been truly inspiring, and which make us very excited about the prospect of collaborating with Raphaela and her staff when 21c opens next door in 2012.
