Description
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 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.
As the title suggests, the themes explored in Revolution 9, are inspired by the forward-thinking outlook of the artists. The works question our ideas about the body, investigate the artist’s relationship to the environment, and challenge the distinction between text and image.
