Adam Cvijanovic at Bellwether

Adam Cvijanovic Love Poem (10 Minutes After the End of Gravity) 2005 Flashe and house paint on Tyvek [detail of large room-size installation]

I snapped these images on the fifteenth, so it's taken me over two weeks to get them up onto this site. I blame it on Katrina.

I love Adam Cvijanovic's latest show at Bellwether, but then I think eyes which wouldn't have yet to be born. The fact that his murals are absolutely crazy about the camera is only a wonderful bonus.

I wish I could introduce him and a patron to some deserving performance space with the bare surfaces of its foyer, hall, stair hall or ceiling dying to be brought to life. I'd buy a subscription for life. I now understand why Tiepolo was so popular with his contemporaries.

The show is titled "Love Poem (10 Minutes After the End of Gravity)" and it's up until October 15.

I'm Ad's wife, so I'm probably not completely objective, but I think "Love Poem:10 Minutes After The End of Gravity" is his most amazing work. I didn't see him for six months, as he painted 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, but it's such apowerful piece I can only be in the same room with it for measured periods of time. It's upsetting and visceral.

Thanks, James.

I have to agree, it's my favourite, it's really amazing. I love the flying bed!
