Art Ache From an article in Surface* magazine: Paint-spattered clothes aren't the only victims - sometimes it's necessary to shed some tears and bleed. So true, so true... 8:06:19 PM    comment []; Eno is a popular man, apparently Well, I'm sad to say that, along with probably a few hundred people, I was turned away from the Eno lecture in San Francisco last night because the venue couldn't hold nearly enough of the people that showed up. I would have had to get there at least a few hours early and that was an impossibility for me. Oh well, at least I got to listen to him in an interview on KQED. Actually, it's probably his appearance on KQED that prompted the massive amount of people to attend. There's always next time... [iceplant radio] Bummer! 7:52:39 PM    comment []; Adam Cvijanovic Above link is to a gallery. Check out the Panorama views that are offered for several of the paintings! It's near impossible to predict who's going to astound us with a turnaround, much less how, when, and where. But among the shows scheduled for this spring are a few likely contenders. One is Adam Cvijanovic, who has been rolling with the punches ever since the latest crop of MFAs were toddlers. "He is so cool. He's the John Travolta of the art world. His reinvention of himself is awesome," says Becky Smith, proprietor of Bellwether, whose walls will host two of his hand-painted wallpaper murals in May. That is from an article in the Village Voice. Here is what Gawker has to say: I met an artist several months ago who does really cool room-sized (and shaped) murals that make you want to sit and stare at the walls for hours. They're acrylic-on-Tyvek which allows them to be taken down and reinstalled in different shapes and sizes. And Adam's an interesting guy to boot. 7:12:47 PM    comment [];
