Beginning September 16, 2026, I.T.I.N.E.R.A.T.I.O.N.S presents a photographic series by Juan-Sí González developed through his journeys along the roads of the American Midwest. Images initially made as practical records of an unfamiliar territory gradually became observations of spaces shaped, transformed, and ultimately abandoned by human presence. Signs, buildings, objects, and other remnants of material culture reveal ways of thinking, living, and inhabiting that have accumulated over time. Moving along the subtle boundary between documentary and fiction, González transforms these deserted environments into reinterpreted topographies that expose aspects of the social imaginary and invite reflection on the physical, ideological, and psychological landscapes we collectively occupy.
In the Middle of the Endless Water, a solo exhibition by Julia Orquera Bianco curated by Carolina Cuervo at the Philip M. Meyers Jr. Memorial Gallery at the University of Cincinnati, brings together more than a decade of work by an artist whose practice has gradually moved from the personal experience of migration toward an inquiry into territory, memory, ecology, and alternative forms of knowledge.
I suppose that, like me, hundreds and probably thousands of viewers developed a dark sympathy for the character of Hannibal Lecter. The two actors who, to date, have embodied him most memorably are Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelsen. The character displays extraordinary intelligence and self-control. He conducts himself according to his own rules and ethical codes.
Given its scale and significance, I will present my analysis of this project in several installments. These are the ten design proposals shortlisted for the next series of euro banknotes. At this moment, they are under the gaze of millions. Citizens of the euro area have been invited to choose their favorites in a survey that will remain open until September 21...
For this series, Rubio & del Amo, a Murcia-based studio specializing in visual identity, editorial design and packaging, joins forces with Cruz más Cruz, the Madrid firm founded by José María Cruz Novillo and later consolidated with the arrival of his son Pepe. Two fairly complementary sensibilities feeding into a common project.
In the mid-1990s, I had many printed copies of the Financial Times in my hands. Probably sometime between 1995 and 1997. I was fascinated by its design, the wan salmon of its pages and Ingram Pinn’s illustrations: its visual identity, basically. As for reading it, very little, I confess. It was an almost purely retinal experience, and little else. But it became clear to me that its texts were written for professionals —people who make decisions on the basis of verified information—
2026 Members’ Exhibition
Beginning August 12, 2026, Collective Impressions brings together recent work by members of Tiger Lily Press at The Annex Gallery. Rooted in Cincinnati’s tradition of printmaking, the exhibition highlights the range of approaches sustained by this artist-run community, from established processes to contemporary experimentation. More than a group show, it offers a portrait of a studio culture built through exchange, technical knowledge, and collective practice, while affirming the vitality of print today.
The Sound of Trust
Beginning July 15, 2026, The Sound of Trust presents a selection of photographs by Jim Marshall, the American photographer and photojournalist born in Chicago in 1936 and raised in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. Over a career spanning five decades, Marshall produced some of the most enduring images of twentieth-century music, working from an exceptional proximity to the artists he photographed, on stage, backstage, in studios, hotel rooms, prisons...
Thresholds. The Long Road Home
Although I am an avowed admirer of her solo work and have known her for nearly twenty-five years, I do not remember ever having spoken in person with Liudmila Velasco. About her work, about the weather, about how unbearable this or that artist can become. When I left the island, Liudmila was already practically an institution within Cuban women’s photography...
