revolution 9: the ninth annual thacher student showcase; may 2 - july 7, 2008
Friday, May 2
4 - 6 p.m. Reception
4:30 p.m. Awards Ceremony


Revolution 9 features over 40 works of art by juniors and seniors from the visual art and media studies programs at the University of San Francisco. Selected by a jury of arts faculty and a USF visiting artist and coordinated by students from the Arts Management program, the pieces range from fine arts to architecture, graphic design to video. Some artists use reclaimed materials to create works that appeal to conventional ideas of beauty; others use old traditions to explore new ideas.

The theme of Revolution 9 is meant to do more than allude to the Beatles song. The idea of a revolution is change. Even in its most minute form, change is something recognizable with infinite consequences. As one of the most profound and intimate tools for self-expression, art continues to be a forceful vehicle of change. It is the voice of the artist that distinguishes a piece. Alone, an image or a sound is just that, but when it is created for a purpose it becomes powerful. Revolution 9 is a collection of emerging artistic voices—whatever they need or want to say. While the artworks you see here convey a variety of subjects and deal with a multitude of issues, change—whether it be personal or social—can be observed in each one. So please, come in, walk around, look and listen.
