Come On Down!
Come On Down! is a multi-purpose project space that includes a collaborative communal area for connecting visual and oral history, and an experimental exhibition area for the results of interactive projects. Part of this campus/community space will feature frequently changing artwork. Spring 2011 presentations include:
- High school student activity: Jenny Truong, Nancy Yang. On exhibit is the artwork of two top honorable mentions of Congressman Mike Honda’s Congressional Art Competition. Here is more information about the Competition and the official press release.
An Artistic Discovery is the annual art contest conducted by Members of Congress for high school students across the country. This competition provides Members and the public an opportunity to encourage and recognize the rich artistic talents of young American high school students. The winning artist and 1 guest are flown to Washington, D.C., to attend an unveiling reception held at the Capitol this year. The winning piece from each district is displayed as part of a year-long national exhibition in the Cannon Tunnel, a pedestrian walkway leading from the Cannon House Office Building to the United States Capitol.
- Artist/student Activity: We are Socially Networked, installation by artist Pantea Karimi and students from Nimitz Elementary School. This installation was connected to Karimi’s Artist of the Year Award, which she received from the Fine Arts Commission, City of Cupertino. Nimitz students (3rd – 5th grade) viewed Karimi’s recent artwork and talked with her about its content. Then the students drew and collaged their own artworks, juxtaposing images of digital technology gadgets, logos, and/or our natural environment. The installation took the form of a social network diagram.
The technologically curious group of students from Nimitz School in Sunnyvale jumped right into the project. Connected with the Euphrat Museum’s acclaimed Arts & Schools Program, this project took the experience of art-making beyond classroom walls, inviting the youth to look at the intersection of art and life in Silicon Valley. Exhibited also are two of Pantea Karimi’s recent artworks. "Through my art, I want to capture moments when technological tools, computer-assisted sounds, programs, and images, simultaneously connect and separate us from one another."
CO-SPONSORS include: Cupertino Fine Arts Commission, City of Cupertino, Euphrat Museum of Art, Arts Council Silicon Valley.

Several special projects will be included in the exhibition:
TYPE-FACES, a series of caricature faces using only letterforms with bits and pieces of individual typeface characters. Created by students from Michael Cole’s Arts 57 Graphic Design Communication/Typography, the objective was to understand the changing character, dynamics and personality of various typefaces and their associated letterforms.
Graphic design students Kris Spencer Jones and Rameel Raymundo have been creating graphic interpretations of words written by art students in the exhibition, poetry students, and students from other disciplines working on related projects. These will form the basis for an evolving adjunct to the exhibition, complementing the First Thursdays monthly open-mic event at the Euphrat. (For more information about First Thursdays, read the La Voz Weekly article).
Students from Eugene Rodriguez’s intermediate drawing class have focused on the intersection/collision of 21st centuryarts and design. The display of selected large format self-portraits with tools of the trade was inspired by Howard Gardner’s "Five Minds for the Future" (modes of thinking as components in building a productive future). Their Four Minds for the Future: Creative, Constructive, Critical, Connective explores questions such as: How will students use their training in the world upon graduation? How does art really fit into 21st century society?
Art will also be displayed in conjunction with Student Activist Art Show: The Student Movement Exhibit. This show shares the story of the student organizing at De Anza, through photography, articles, film, and art. The focus is the Educational Movement and how concerned students at De Anza took action to create awareness about the constant deductions of funding towards education within and outside of campus. These students have their stories of change, and are fighting for the right to an affordable and great education.
The goal of the Student Activist Art Show: The Student Movement Exhibit is to empower students to do something (through photos, spoken word, art pieces, literature), then to gather student organizers, faculty, politicians, staff, administrators and students to dialogue about the importance of education, build communication and community, and strengthen support for student involvement and organizing.
Event: Thursday, June 10, 2010, 5:30pm - 8:30pm, Visual Performing Arts Center (VAPC) courtyard. (For more information, visit our Facebook event page).
The design for the exhibition announcement was created by De Anza College graphic design student Anthony A. Vasquez.

Envi-Able, mixed media on recycled materials, is a collaborative installation
addressing environmental issues and re-envisioning our relationship to the natural world.
It began as an Intermediate Drawing class project and has grown to include participants from
the Global Warming Solutions conference and other local artists. Collaborators include
Juliana Kang-Robinson, the Institute of Community and Civic Engagement, and the Euphrat
Museum of Art. Installation design by Gabe Ballard and Aleksandr Barilov with Tom Smith.
Art Bench Project involved students from Instructor Moto Ohtake’s sculpture and 3D classes
who were given the opportunity to design benches for the new Visual and Performing Arts
Center patio. Models and statements for the benches were presented to the Art of Campus
Committee. These ideas are on display. Chosen: Olena Starostina (Dreamboat), Alex Barilov
(Kvadratik), Legrand Morgan (for resubmission), Robert R. Mooney (for resubmission).
Also Matthew Neilson, Tin Ho Lau, and Nancy Vizcarra.
Counting Lives Lost, Making Our Lives Count Installation is part of a larger project.
From a conversation between two De Anza students, Tim Sage and Zari Aziz, one a veteran
from the Afghanistan War and the other a Muslim woman from Afghanistan, a series of
activities has been developed to promote dialog, healing and the dispelling of stereotypes
commonly associated with returning veterans and Muslim students. An April 29th healing
dialog between Sage and Aziz was the first component of the project. It was followed by Kathleen
Crocetti’s large student-assisted installation Counting Lives Lost in De Anza’s Main
Quad (May, June). A symbolic portion of that installation, with documentation of the
process and related commentary and poetry by students is exhibited in the Euphrat.
Counting Lives Lost Committee and co-sponsors: DASB, Health Services, Intercultural
and International Studies Division, Euphrat Museum of Art, Creative Arts Division.
