COPS – a group exhibition
OPENING: Friday September 26 at 7:00pm
GALLERY HOURS: Sundays 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Tuesdays & Thursdays 5:00pm to 7:00pm
Thru October 23

Cops are the ultimate symbols of authority in
contemporary society.
With
power to decide freedom or incarceration, life or
death, the police are
both local and direct embodiments of power. This
power, however, has
deep
roots and many faces. In addition to the police,
authority is manifest
in
the forms of clergy, governments, McManagers,
teachers, media, and
cultural
mores.

This show explores encounters with, and opinions of
authority. With
the
recent increase in police presence, both literal and
through
legislative
measures such as The Patriot Act, it is more important
than ever to
discuss
the role of authority in our lives. Do cops make us
safer, or are they
symbols of the loss of our civil liberties?

'We Interrupt this Empire…'
-video screening-
THURSDAY OCTOBER 2
at 7:00 and 9:00pm
$5–$10 (sliding scale)

"We Interrupt This Empire…" is a collaborative work
by many of the
Bay
Area's independent video activists which documents the
direct actions
that
shut down the financial district of San Francisco in
the weeks
following
the United States' invasion of Iraq. With the audio
backdrop including
the
live broadcasts of Enemy Combatant Radio from the SF
Independent Media
Center to SFPD's tactical communications that were
picked up by police
scanners, the documentary takes a look at the diverse
show of
resistance
from the streets of San Francisco as well as providing
a critique of
the
coporate media coverage of the war and exploring such
issues as the
Military Industrial Complex, attacks on civil
liberties, and the United
States' current imperialist drive.

For more information: http://www.videoactivism.org

Proceeds from 'We Interrupt This Empire…' go to the
Video Activist
Network (VAN) and the rncnotwelcome.org collective.
VAN is an informal
association of activists and politically conscious
artists using video
to
support social, economic and environmental justice
campaigns.
