Aggravation de l'Espace
When it comes to public art Cincinnati has an embarrassment of riches. But the appreciation isn’t spread evenly.
My favorite unloved work of art is the Aggravation de l'Espace at Central and Plum.

Cliftonfest
I'm a sucker for a good street festival and the Cliftonfest always delivers. Music, food, and streetart, or sidewalk art actually.

May the Fourth Be With You: An Art Tribute Show
May 4th at The Brewhouse in Walnut Hills, Episode III of the Star Wars fan art show debuted. The quality of the art is amazing, I figured there would be some really good stuff and a bunch of, well, fan art. But I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the work all the way across the board.
The show runs a couple weeks so if you're a Star Wars fan make sure you swing by grab a beer and check out the incredible art.
EDIT: I just realized there was little to no Ewok art at the show. Those little guys turned a battle and helped drive a stake in Darth Vader and the Empire's heart. You woud think people would show them a little more love. I always wondered about the lost potential of Ewoks, everyone saw what those little bastids could do with logs and rocks, why didn't anyone ever hand them a blaster?

Friday Fish Fry
I was on my own on a Friday night so I jumped on the bike, shot across the Roebling and hit The Gruff. Even though it's a short ride away I've somehow never been there, and now I'm a little salty I waited so long. The fish sandwich was perfect, that magical combination of crispy and tender flaky at the same time. The fries, well the fries were about as perfect as they could be too, everything I love about fries. Good food, a chill space and not much more you could ask for.
Except maybe an art show, but more of that in a minute.

Swing House
What would you do if you could purchase a house for a couple thousand dollars? If you are Mark Dejong you turn it into a functional work of art. Much like the 5K House he finished three years ago, Mr. Dejong uses his artistic background to find elegant solutions for issues in the house. For instance, instead of remodeling all the rooms, why not bust out all the walls and floors and make it one big room? And that is exactly what he did, and he hung a swing to boot. But while everyone was focused on the swing I was fixated on all the little details in the place. Like how he left plaster from each room with its original paint creating a mosaic on the walls. There is also a cool little art gallery in the basement made from wood and other items found in the house.
The most amazing thing about the Swing House is it is functioning home, including a kitchen and bath.
You can check this out yourself next weekend December 9th and 10th from 12-4pm.
