about

A.C Frabetti earned his undergraduate BA in 1992 in two majors, Philosophy and STPEC (Social Thought & Political Economy) from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. He consequently founded and directed his own private art gallery in San Gimignano, Italy, where he resided for ten years. In 2007 he returned to the United States and earned an MFA, an MA (Philosophy/Aesthetics) and a Certificate in Art and Philosophy from Stony Brook University and its Manhattan program. His studies included a seminar with the renowned art critic Donald Kuspit and philosophers such as Edward Casey. He also taught in the university's Program in Writing and Rhetoric.

In 2008, he relocated to Cincinnati, where he founded the regional journal of art criticism ÆQAI: Critical Thinking, Review, & Reflective Prose on Contemporary Art in Greater Cincinnati. In 2010, he was awarded a scholarship upon his admittance into the Humanities Doctoral Program at the University of Louisville. His research includes youth graffiti vandalism and how it serves as a revelation for greater social contradictions in political contract theory and masculinity.
