Revolution 9.9.9 – a dramatic and intense exhibition that explores the extent and magnitude of popular culture’s biggest influence – The Beatles.

EDIT: What a fantastic night! Thanks to everyone for making it a hit. Click here for Party Pics!

Revolution 9.9.9 opens 09/09/09 (Number Nine… Number Nine… Number Nine…) at Space Gallery in San Francisco, the city that was the location of The Beatles’ last ever official concert in 1966, and runs to September 14.

The exhibition opens the same day as the release of The Beatles Rock Band video game and their re-mastered albums, exploring the band’s unmatched impact on popular culture through paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, film and performance.

Artists include:
Sean Ward (that’s me!)
Marco Mejia
Julia Sanders
Tandy Kunkle

I need your help to get me to San Francisco, and support the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in memory of  huge John Lennon fan!  Click here for details about my San Francisco fundraiser!

Revolution 9.9.9 opens with a reception on Wednesday Sept. 9, and will be capped with a live event featuring a performance by The Vows who will play two sets: the first as the psychedelic Beatles, and the second – after a drastic and radical costume change – as the Beatlemania-era mop tops.

Revolution 9.9.9 is presented by Space Gallery, and produced by Rand Shuler. Space Gallery is located at 1141 Polk Street, San Francisco, California. Visit them on the web at www.spacegallerysf.com
