"Dervish" by
Lewis deSoto is just one of the works that convinced the Flintridge Foundation
to present the SFSU professor of art with a 2003-04 Award for Visual
Artists. The biannual Flintridge Awards come with a $25,000 grant and
are given to 10 artists from California, Oregon and Washington whose
work "demonstrates high artistic merit and a distinctive voice for
20 or more years." More than 900 artists applied for this year's
awards. "Dervish" was commissioned by Rafael Tous of Barcelona,
Spain, and features six speakers, motorized lights and discrete sound
tracks.
