Amherst’s Gallery A3 offers two shows this September. Gloria Kegeles’ Chrome Dreams looks dreamily into the distortions of the world as reflected in chrome and metal on vintage cars. Kegeles travels to vintage auto shows to find just the right reflections and just the right shine.
Jitnapa Suthikant serves fortune cookies of a different kind in StereoTyped. Suthikant plays with the notion of American constructions of Chinese culture as offered in the small, strange messages baked within waxy shells.

Sept. 4-27, reception: Sept. 4, artist conversations: Sept. 18, Gallery A3, 28 Amity St., Amherst, (413) 256-4250.
