A timeless challenge: When life is a game, how do you learn to play? Games, an expression of art and life, can bridge the gaps between cultures, and be a common language that brings communities together. LTP combined collaborations with key organizations looking to the future of Silicon Valley, with the challenging intersection of games, the arts, technology, commerce, and education. Game makers tell compelling stories about their lives or the world. Learn to Play included video, board and social games by indy game designers, poetic and artful games, from quick play to epic. The characteristics of these games echo human nature, teaching us who and what we are, or can be, so we can explore life directions driven by our choice and conscience. The games selected range from personal growth to those used for socially conscious purposes. For example Brenda Braithwaite's provocative games, such as Train, challenge academic learning/knowing about difficult histories, periods such as the holocaust, middle passage, trail of tears, and the Irish experience. In Help find Zoe, Susana Ruiz and Take Action Games (TAG) address abusive dating relationships and gender stereotyping in a game for youth, ages 8-14. The core TAG team met while graduate students at the University of Southern California's Interactive Media Division. TAG specializes in casual games for change, a new approach to issues, traversing the intersections of computational art, narrative, journalism, activism, ethics, history and documentary.

In Between:
The Tension and Attraction of Difference9/29/09-4/15/10, evolving exhibition Artists include: Marlene Angeja, Mei-chu Chang, Sam Hernandez, Bu Hua, Ken Lo, Abraham Menor, Minette Lee Mangahas, Penny Nii, Ricardo Richey, Lucy Sargeant, Imin Yeh, Xudong Yu, and more. Curatorial consultants included the artists along with Nancy Hom, Abby Chen, Robin Treen, Jianhua Shu, and others. Collaboration with the Chinese Culture Center, San Francisco. For a full description, including images, see Euphrat Past Highlights. 
In Between, the second inaugural exhibition in the new museum, was a gathering of artists who embrace "difference," do or see things in a fresh way, and change the game. Contemporary art practice, open-ended paintings of San Jose State University faculty Lucy Sargeant and Marlene Angeja, was combined with street art, technology, animation, music, and more. Longtime Santa Clara University Professor Sam Hernandez's large wall sculpture Dichos y Bichos includes a long list of folk wisdom in old instructive Palmer script, but in Spanish with no translation. Imin Yeh's traditional woodcut prints and installations open dialog on cultural and generational understanding, playing with subjects such as "good imports" and "student loans." Hawaiian-born Minette Lee Mangahas's Calligraffiti project exquisitely combines traditional (Zen) calligraphy with graffiti, at one point involving graffiti artists from around the country. Collaborator Ricardo Richey created a complementary front window painting. Abraham Menor photographs document hidden Bay Area and range from honoring community history and Filipino WWII veterans to catching a B Boy competition (The Art of War, 2009, Bboys presenting their skills at San José's largest bboy/bgirl event). Collaboration with the Chinese Culture Center introduced art by two artists in China, part of the Center's Present Tense: Chinese Character exhibition: Bejing animator Bu Hua's short animation, Anxiety, and Yu Xudong's One Person's Parade, taking on China's "Parade law" and restrictions on free speech with a few simple signs. A Special Projects area connected artists, college, and community to address the current education crisis in California, including youth activists who want healing, unity, and "schools not prisons," and the Euphrat Community Arts Mentorship Initiative (2009-10): Working with At-Risk Youth, collaborators/funders including Columbia Neighborhood Center, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, and Arts Council Silicon Valley.

2009
In 2009 the Euphrat Museum opened its doors to a brand new exhibition
space, part of a new Visual and Performing Arts complex.Looking Back, Looking Ahead 2/17-4/24/09 Artists include: Paul Pei-Jen Hau, Agnes Pelton, Thai Bui, Rene Yung, Angela Buenning Filo, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, Charisse Domingo, Mike Arcega, Shorty Fatz, Samuel Rodriguez, Matthew Rodriguez, and more. Curatorial consultants include the artists along with Nancy Hom, Tom Izu, Jianhua Shu, and others. Collaborators include Silicon Valley DeBug, California History Center, and De Anza instructional divisions joined by Euphrat Advisory Council and community organizing committees. For a full description, including images, see Euphrat Past Highlights. 
The inaugural exhibition in the new museum, honored our past and looked to the future as it wove together the stories of artists and Silicon Valley residents and groups. We honored world-renowned painter Paul Pei-Jen Hau (then 92), who has a museum named after him in eastern China, and has taught locally for over 55 years. Hau's bold watercolor and ink paintings bridge cultures of East and West. The Euphrat collection of paintings by Agnes Pelton (1881-1961, a "Poet of Nature,") connected Euphrat history with the current resurgence of Pelton's art, including the 2009 major show of Pelton's art at the Orange County Museum of Art. Her mystical landscapes also suggest a world where East meets West. LBLA artists, arts leaders then, continue to impact Silicon Valley art, with Angela Buenning Filo, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, and Rene Yung having major exhibitions in 2012 and 2013. The more youthful contingent included two artists opening up new directions for Silicon Valley arts. Photographer Charisse Domingo with Silicon Valley De-Bug unites photography with social justice and journalism, e.g. powerfully documenting the faces and words of mothers who encounter family problems with the criminal justice system. Custom bike specialists Shorty Fatz are another forward-looking hybrid, building an art company with their signature bikes, handling large public art commissions, and reaching out to youth with graphics and bike workshops. Student involvement in our Come on Down! project space included major installations, The Mapping Project and Picturing Our Communities. Culmination of the exhibition was a Euphrat Participatory Session in the California Studies Conference: Debugging the Silicon Dream: Real Life in a Virtual World. We presented "Euphrat Museum of Art: Art and Leadership, Perspectives on Silicon Valley".  Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, HoeDown. Underwood's contemporary fiber art reflects her unique life: "I find myself still navigating between three cultures on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border." Update on one of the artists: Cupertino 2011 Artist of the Year Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, Professor Emeritus of Textile Art at San Jose State University, exhibits internationally. In 2012, she was featured in the fourth season of "Craft in America," a Peabody Award-winning series on PBS. Full List

Curatorial concept: Keith Knight. Curated by Jan Rindfleisch with community consultants: Nancy Hom, Jianhua Shu. For a full description, including images, see Euphrat Past Highlights. 
Graphic Storytelling as Activism presented art forms including cartoons, political posters, digital art, book art, and more to explore imagery with an activist bent. It began with graphic storyteller Keith Knight who exhibited work from three series and the book Beginner's Guide to Community-Based Arts, which features graphic stories about artists, educators, and activists across the U.S. Cartoonist, rapper, and Hip-Hop musician Knight also spent a day giving presentations, including a multi-media show of his nationally syndicated comic strips. Favianna Rodriguez exhibited colorful silkscreens, political posters and personal art. Her art tells a history of social justice. Rodriguez gave presentations about national and international grassroots struggles, inviting students to consider how art can encourage civic dialog and participation, and to construct small artworks for the Building Together collaborative art fence project on the construction site of the new Euphrat. Charisse Domingo exhibited a photographic series on East Palo Alto and Gila River revealing a major untold story about toxic waste in Silicon Valley. This was one of a number of series Domingo has done for Silicon Valley De-Bug magazine. America Meredith's paintings featured less known historical events involving Native Americans. Her spokes-cards for bicycle wheels focus on the preservation of the Cherokee language. Fall

Moving Cultures
(…all over the map)10/2-11/21/07 Artists include Michael Arcega, Vic De La Rosa, Kent Manske and Nanette Wylde, Eugene Rodriguez, Marta Sanchez with Norma Cantú, Christine Wong Yap. Curated by Jan Rindfleisch with community consultants: Nancy Hom, Consuelo Underwood, Christine Wong Yap. Collaboration with the Institute of Community and Civic Engagement, Filipino American Historical Society (Santa Clara Valley Chapter), and California History Center. For a full description, including images, see Euphrat Past Highlights. 
Moving Cultures was an exhibition of art related to moving cultures, whether from one location to another, changing/shifting over time, or changing interpretations. Art ranged from landscapes and poetry to interventions, actions, satire, and cultural Meaning Makers. Artist Marta Sanchez and author/poet Norma Cantú exhibited a series of collaborative prints that addressed the history and beauty of Texas railroad culture. Cantú, a major force in Chicana/o studies for more than 30 years, spent a day speaking with students about the collaboration. Interdisciplinary artist Michael Arcega exhibited work from his El Conquistadork series, a humorous critique on issues of colonialism and cultural exchange, including maquettes for his 10' Manila galleon, made primarily of Manila folders. On a campus visit, Arcega used humor with language to discuss subjects such as globalization. Kent Manske and Nanette Wylde created a Meaning Maker installation with pamphlets to make sense of our changing culture(s). What began with a migration story grew to reflect today's cultural complexities and questions of communication, meaning, and values. Spring

Material Culture3/7-4/19/07 Artists include Reneé Billingslea, Hector Dio Mendoza, Corinne Okada, Nazanin Shenasa, Kerry Vander Meer. Curated by Jan Rindfleisch with Nazanin Shenasa. Artist community collaborators include Chike Nwoffiah, Oriki Theater. For a full description, including images, see Euphrat Past Highlights. 
Material Culture connected a focus on textiles, traditional and contemporary, with a focus on our culture of materials/materialism. Playing off different title interpretations, the exhibition featured artists with content relevant to the times and community. Artist/instructor Reneé Billingslea, Santa Clara University, used clothing in her installation Fabric of Race: Lynching in America. Here clothing/textiles drew one into an important but rarely discussed part of U.S. history. Artist Corinne Okada exhibited wearable art from recycled candy wrappers from other cultures, providing cultural links for different generations. Chike Nwoffiah, Director of Oriki Theater in Mountain View, presented traditional wearable art from the Igbos in southeast Nigeria. Artist Kerry Vander Meer built art installations from women's stretch garments. Hector Dio Mendoza's community-inspired artwork reflected various meanings to material culture. His generational installation, Atomic Landscape, included solid sculptures made of crocheted doilies dipped in liquid concrete. For an Art, Leadership, and Cultural Citizenship presentation, Mendoza spoke of his public art projects and addressed specifically an Emerging Latina/o Leadership class. Nazanin Shenasa exhibited a handmade silk costume, Layla's Shroud, about being separated from your dreams. Winter 2007
Changing Still
Life1/22-2/15/07 Artists include DeWitt Cheng, Susan Danis. Curated by Jan Rindfleisch with artist, campus and community collaborators including Nazanin Shenasa. Artist community collaborators include Janet Leong Malan, Connie Young Yu, Tom Izu (California History Center), Annie Presler and Jose Marte (Biological, Health, and Environmental Sciences Division). For a full description, including images, see Euphrat Past Highlights. Changing Still Life was an interactive exhibition comprised of "still lifes" from which viewers could draw. Viewfinders and basic sketch materials were provided. The still lifes encompassed objects reflecting different cultures and histories, found/recycled objects, objects related to different academic disciplines, and some artworks. The objects came from artists and sources on campus and in the community. Historian Connie Young Yu and artist Janet Leong Malan loaned artifacts related to early Chinese-American history in the area. Campus input included College architectural elements salvaged by the California History Center (CHC), specimens and models from the Sciences Division, and native plants related to the Environmental Studies Center. Artists Susan Danis and DeWitt Cheng displayed art and objects from their studios. Danis's sculptures referred to consumerism, the environment. Cheng's paintings had science specimens morphing into unique creatures. Full

Change 2005/2006,
Artists as Catalysts for Change, Revisioning the Museum10/4-11/23/05 and 1/23-2/23/06 Artists include Richard Godinez, Juliana Kang, Nancy Hom, Tony May, Moto Ohtake, and others. 
Change 2005/2006 consisted of a fluid rotating exhibition with lecture/discussions exploring change in the arts and academic community, the Euphrat Museum of Art's move to a different campus location, its new building design, and its expanding relationship with other campus entities and the outer community. Different sections explored themes: Artists as Catalysts for Change, Designing a New Building on Campus, Activating a Campus/Community Cultural Space, and Art and Civic Engagement Education. Reflecting art department changes, new faculty/staff members Juliana Kang, Moto Ohtake, and Tony McCann exhibited paintings, artist books, and a sculpture. A major focus was the work of Nancy Hom, a catalyst for change - a multifaceted artist, writer, organizer and arts administrator. She exhibited art she created for numerous political, social, and community events in San Francisco. Highlighted also was art from Richard Godinez who participated in Hom's Kearny Street Workshop exhibition War and Silence. In Godinez's large painting Disciples, images of monks meditating are juxtaposed with a military training exercise. Artist Tony May, another long-time catalyst, taught an Art in the Community class at San José State University for many years and has decades of community involvement. He exhibited models and drawings from a collaborative public art project with students and recent graduates, a memorial to San Jose community activist and spiritual leader Father Mateo Sheedy. Also on display were May's public art models commemorating the agricultural history of Silicon Valley. A prime example of Art and Civic Engagement Education was art from the California College of the Arts' Center for Art and Public Life project, 100 Families Oakland. Materials relating to the new civic engagement initiative on campus were shown in conjunction with a related lecture. Preliminary plans for the new museum building (consultant Mark Cavagnero and others) and new De Anza entries and signage were shown as part of Designing a New Building on Campus and Activating a Campus/Community Cultural Space.

Shared Passions2/14-4/15/05 Artists include Jody Alexander, Ali Dadgar, Bella Feldman, Penny Nii, Saïd Nuseibeh, Lisa Reinertson, Peng Peng Wang, Nanette Wylde. Artist co-curators and collaborators included Melissa Harmon (Northern Chapter of the Women's Caucus for the Arts), Kent Manske (Bay Area Book Arts), Linda Mau (various ceramics groups), Nazanin Shenasa (curating an exhibition on Muslim artists). 
The exhibition was derived from collaborating with four artists who worked with art groups, whether organized or loosely affiliated. We discussed directions and decided on different methods to focus on their particular area of interest. Highlights included a focus on book arts, a section for Lisa Reinertson's work in large-scale ceramic figures and public art (maquettes of public sculptures of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez and St. Ignatius), and a section for two artists addressing their Middle Eastern heritage. Working with the Northern Chapter of the Women's Caucus for the Arts, we honored Bella Feldman, long-time sculpture professor at California College of Arts (1965-2001), for her lifetime achievements. She exhibited several large steel sculptures. Four artists from Bay Area Book Arts presented work reflecting a broad definition of book arts: a Peng Peng Wang shirt "book" embroidered with words commenting on Silicon Valley lifestyles; a Hisako Penny Nii eclipse book, built in two ways, presenting history, science, and poetic interpretation; a Nanette Wylde's Storyland "book" on an iMac computer; and Jody Alexander sculptures with books stuck closed or stuck in the box, presumably from age or neglect, with the content all locked away. Regarding Middle Eastern heritage, Ali Dadger's series of painting/silkscreens entitled Recent Antiquities touched on Iranian history and culture, and Saïd Nuseibeh's series of photographs of the Dome of the Rock took us to a Muslim holy site with significance also to Christians and Jews. Artist Presentations with Women's History Month Committee, Naz Shenasa, 3/3/05, and Bella Feldman, 3/9/05. Fall

Edges9/27-11/24/04 Artists include Lucy Arai, Diana Pumpelly Bates, Julián Cardona, Nancy Mizuno Elliott, Titus Kaphar, Saaba MBB Lutzeler, David Maisel, Consuelo Underwood. 
Edges highlighted formal solutions (for example, the way a painter handled the edge of a form) and also explored edges with respect to timely content, whether on a personal, regional, or global level. In his Visual Quotations series, Titus Kaphar worked from selected 19th century paintings but only painted the African Americans. He worked in oils on dry-erase whiteboards with all the surrounding area left white. A hard edge separated the two. Diana Pumpelly Bates' bronze sculptures focused on the edge between physical and spiritual worlds. Photographer Julián Cardona's works documented the violent entry of Mexico to globalization and probed inside the maquiladora world alongside the border. His series, Dying Slowly showed difficult edges: the border between life and death, death in life. In another series, THE TRUTH, Evidence of a Failure, he documented family members searching for the bodies of their daughters in the desert. Maisel's aerial photographs of Lake Owens documented edges between natural landscapes and landscapes degraded by human actions. Lucy Arai created soft and hard edges by applying sumi ink in washes on handmade paper and then employing sashiko, traditional Japanese running-stitch embroidery, in concentric circles and fluid patterns. Consuelo Underwood drew directly on the wall, included wrapped shaman sticks, and created an unusual red leather grid that looked like barbed wire. It referred to the ten sites where the U.S. government has constructed a 14' steel wall to secure the Mexico/U.S. border. TV: Open access cable program with artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, co-sponsored with De Anza MECHA club 11/17/04. Reception for Toni Morrison, 12/2/04. Book Club with Ulysses Pinchon, 1/ 24/05. Spring

City Life2/25-4/16/04 
City Life presented art related to the urban experience. It highlighted urban transportation, work, architecture (buildings, landscape, and interiors), public art, neighborhoods, and life styles. Lewis Watts showed photographs of urban life in Oakland, selections from his series Evidence: The Oakland Cultural Landscape Project. Jessica Dunne created paintings of urban night scenes, including parking lots and freeways. Seyed Alavi photographed numerous people on Market Street in San Francisco and layered their facial images, six at a time, to create composite images displayed as large kiosk posters. Harriete Estel Berman's nine-foot-square sculpture of "grass" constructed from recycled tin consumer products called attention to the rampant consumerism in our city malls. Large photographs of Tokyo subway scenes by Kim Yasuda explored ideas of personal and public space in Japanese cities. Katherine Aoki created something new, an active urban world populated with women who provoke us to challenge gender-related expectations. Artist Presentations: Katherina Aoki, with Women's History Month Committee, 3/10/04, Lewis Watts, 4/8/04.  Katherine Aoki, Lawyer, 2000. Using cartoon styles, Aoki's active urban world is populated with women challenging gender-related expectations. One series is about women superheroes, such as the urban lawyer, who are just really good at their jobs. Fundraising Event in Los Altos Hills, with Art Exhibition of five artists, 5/19/04. Honoring Margaret and Hsing Kung and Jerry Hiura and artists: Diana Pumpelly Bates, Sharon Chinen, Nina Koepcke, Dawn Nakanishi, Flo Oy Wong. Winter 2004
Closing The
Distance1/5-2/5/04 Artists include Binh Danh, Jim Gensheimer, Chen-Ju Pan, Soffia Saemundsdottir, Nazanin Shenasa. 
Closing the Distance presented sculpture, photography, and mixed media installation about moving between one continent and another, about connections between the two locales, and how these connections change. It began with a project of two photographers, Binh Danh and Jim Gensheimer, entitled The Journey of Vietnamese Boat People. Danh presented photos of an abandoned Vietnamese refugee camp in Malaysia where he had lived. Gensheimer, a Mercury News photographer, presented photos from the South China Sea (1987) and from Vietnam (1989-2000). Nazanin Shenasa, a textile artist, created an installation related to the changes she saw in Iran, so different from what her parents had told her and what she had read about. Sculptor Chen-Ju Pan, originally from Taiwan, hung her 8'x14'x17' steel, poplar and fabric art kayak from the ceiling - a fantasy boat to escape traditional gender roles and explore new areas. Also on a very large scale were the 9'x13' charcoal drawings of Soffia Saemundsdottir from Iceland whose works were a journey in a landscape more symbolic than real. Artist Presentation Naz Shenasa, 2/3/04. Fall
2003
Daily Dramas:
Currents and Undercurrents9/30-11/26/03 Artists include Mel Adamson, May Chan, Richard Godinez, Wayne Jiang, Linden Keiffer, George Rivera. 
Daily Dramas featured the work of six artists who depicted people or implied human presence in various dramas of our day - some chosen freely, other imposed by systems or regimes. Wayne Jiang presented detailed paintings, life scenes of an extended Chinese American family. Mel Adamson, an art professor from San Jose State University, exhibited large paintings of generational differences, intimacy and distance. George Rivera, a painter who is also the Director of the Triton Museum, painted emotional states behind the roles he had to play. Painter Richard Godinez juxtaposed realities, such as a Norman Rockwell's Thanksgiving dinner and a family looking for food in a garbage dump. Using articles of clothing to stand in for people and the drama of our lives, May Chan's sculptural installation addressed maintaining and developing connections across the Pacific Ocean. Also several painting installations by Linden Keiffer, similar to stage sets with actors and props, constructed a world beyond the indignities of daily racism. Keiffer is the director of The You in Me organization in Oakland dedicated to multicultural and multiracial education. Artist presentation, Wayne Jiang, 10/23/03. Spring

Rethinking Nature2/20-4/19/03 Artists include Mari Andrews, Irene Chan, Sharon Chinen, Cynthia Handel, Joyce Hsu, Daniel McCormick, and members of California Indian Basketweavers Association, including Ollie Foeside and Tamie Lopez. 
ReThinking Nature presented art based on nature, made from natural materials, or related to changes in the natural world. Included were Daniel McCormick sculptures designed to restore damaged creek environments, a Mari Andrews sculptural installation of leaves, stones, and seeds, and Joyce Hsu's kinetic sculptures called Naboons (Dragonflies). The California Indian Basketweavers Association provided baskets for an installation along with background information and news of current issues, such as access to sites for collecting natural materials and responsible use of herbicides and pesticides. Sharon Chinen sculptures (Agave, Calla Lilies, Flagellum, Summer, Autumn) concern survival, cycles of growth and decay, freedom and constraint between the individual and society, and reverence for the mystery of life. During the last two weeks, the exhibition incorporated a collaborative public artwork about nature created by hundreds of local elementary-school students working through the Euphrat's Arts & Schools Program. It was inspired by the sculptures of Mari Andrews and referenced local flora and fauna. Artist presentation, Sharon Chinen, Women's History Month Committee, 3/12/03. During ReThinking Nature exhibition, purchased two videos from the California Indian Basketweavers Association for the multicultural art-history slide/video collection. In conjunction with Women's History Month Committee. Companion exhibition curated for Sunnyvale Creative Arts Center Gallery, Nature: A Mood, A Space, A Companion, 12/14-5/3/03.

Picking Up the
Pieces10/1-11/27/02 Artists include Magi Amma, Gregory Burns, Serene Flax, Leonard Gerstein, Ben Kashkooli, Keba Konte, Chere Lai Mah, Donna Keiko Ozawa, Remi Rubel. 
Picking Up the Pieces was an exhibition that began with creating art from scrap materials and caring for the environment, but expanded to picking up the pieces of one's life and picking up the pieces of a society after some devastation. It included reference to rebuilding the body (because of age or trauma) and to our response to September 11 one year later. Donna Keiko Ozawa and Remi Rubel had been part of the artist in residence program at the NORCAL Sanitary Landfill Company in San Francisco. Rubel's stunning wedding dress with 8-foot train made of reused bottle caps reexamines cultural habits, biases, assumptions, and presumptions. Ozawa's art, often with a hand-cranking component, sometimes quirky, combines social relevance and imagination. Through the illusion of physical interaction with the sculpture, she poses questions about collective responsibility. Serene Flax and Magi Amma addressed responses to violence and were part of a Women's Caucus for Art project. Gregory Burns and Leonard Gerstein were drawn from a project of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons regarding orthopedics in art. With photographic images on old found wood, Keba Konte finds beauty in people's resilience in a world of much despair, whether in Cuba, Soweto, or New Orleans. Chere Lai Mah's sculptures from the broken pots, and art about Chinese women's clothing over generations, correlated with events in China and with Westernization. She picks up pieces of family, cultural, and economic history, putting them together to make personal and societal meaning for today. The exhibition was dedicated to Ben Kashkooli (1954-2002), one-time De Anza art student and former instructor at De Anza. It included an installation of his video regarding Agent Orange, and photography and sculpture about peace. Companion exhibition curated for Sunnyvale Creative Arts Center Gallery: Cycles, Recycles, 11/1-12/21/02, Leticia Garcia, Debra Koppman, Keiko Ozawa. Spring

Marschner, Maria Park, Peter Tonningsen, David Yamamoto, Jean Yi. Curatorial consultant Consuelo Underwood. Concept present first by David Yamamoto and later independently by Tom Izu, Director of the California History Center This exhibition about "a sense of place" ranged from photography to public monuments, paintings to installations. A sense of place is part of a person's emotional life and also part of a healthy community, because people who connect with their historical or physical environment are more likely to connect with civic and political life. Included Peter Tonningsen, an East Bay artist who addressed the conversion of the Alameda Naval Air Station, and David Yamamoto, a Los Angeles artist whose work referred to WWII internment camps and Watts Riot sites. Included local history, such as a 1986 Carol Marschner ink drawing of "Cali Bro."

and Immigration Stories of the 20th and 21st Centuries: Drama, Contradictions,
New Neighbors, Coalitions2/22-4/19/01 Artists include José Arenas, Edith Argabrite, Alma Lopez, Rick Rocamura, Flo Oy Wong. Angel Island presented installation, artwork, and stories with roots in the 20th century and ramifications in the 21st century, particularly in light of the New California, the New Economy. The art revealed human drama. Contradictions arose, for example the contrast between the beautiful setting of Angel Island and what happened there. Viewers saw how new neighbors interacted and built community. Flo Oy Wong's major installation, made in usa: Angel Island Shhh, explored the identity secrets of Chinese immigrants detained and interrogated in the U.S. Both of Wong's parents entered the U.S via the Angel Island Immigration Station and were interrogated under the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Edith Argabrite and her family fled Eastern Europe during the Holocaust and found refuge in Shanghai until they could find it in the U.S. Now she creates paintings, sculpture, and poetry about all that has transpired, life's larger journey, the bad times and the good. With Jose Arenas's moving back and forth between Mexico and the United States, he feels a dual identity, a conflict between the two, the "changing into something else." When he paints a ship alone on a watery globe, with ribbon-like routes crossing over and curling back, we see the magnitude and uncertainty of the journey. Alma Lopez exhibited digital prints that deal with Mexican Americans in the U.S. landscape. California Fashion Slaves focuses on garment industry workers; Juan Soldado on the unofficial patron saint of undocumented immigrants, an "illegal saint of 'illegal' immigrants." During the last two weeks, the exhibition incorporated Mapping the New California, a collaborative public artwork on immigration created by hundreds of local elementary-school students working through the Euphrat's Arts & Schools Program.

Animals10/3-11/22/00 Artists include Jerry Ross Barrish, Anders Barth, Jancy Chang, Carmen Leon, Roberta Loach, Hifumi Ogawa, Calixto Robles, Carol Selter, Ama Torrance, Artists from Creativity Explored of San Francisco. Curatorial consultants Enrique Andrade, Nancy Hom, and Flo Oy Wong. Animals presented aspects of the animal world and its interface with humans. With a variety of media, the works included three-dimensional animals, animal portraits, animals from Chinese astrology, animals in biology, and more abstract or poetic animals. Animals had fun elements to appeal to children. It included different cultural perspectives, along with ideas and issues that challenge societies. For a Chester Yochida children's book (colored pencil and ink illustrations), all twelve zodiac animals of the Chinese New Year sit down for a New Year's banquet. Ama Torrance's animal sculptures resonate with human feeling. A group of almost life-size sheep is made from polyurethane foam with PVC legs covered with a thick aluminum foil. The epitome of a technological world gone berserk, these plastic foam creatures are lovable and noxious. Some come with their own plastic "shadows" on the floor, while others "don't need shadows." Twelve artists participated, including three from Creativity Explored of San Francisco. Companion exhibition curated for Sunnyvale Creative Arts Center Gallery, Animal Stories, 11/2-12/22/00.

Maestrapeace
Art Works2/15-4/6/00 Artists include Juana Alicia, Miranda Bergman, Edythe Boone, Susan Kelk Cervantes, Meera Desai, Yvonne Littleton, Irene Perez. 
Maestrapeace spotlighted the work of seven muralists, all women, who designed and painted the internationally acclaimed monumental mural Maestrapeace on the San Francisco Women's Building. The mural is a testament to cultural diversity, inclusion, community involvement, and artistic collaboration. The show highlighted their processes, art, and activism. During the last two weeks, the exhibition incorporated Homage to Maestrapeace fabric panels, a collaborative public artwork created by hundreds of local elmentary school students through the Arts & Schools Program. Photo: 12,000 square feet. Acrylic mural on San Francisco Women's Building, 3543 18th Street. Maestrapeace honors famous and unsung women, highlights political activism, artistic and scientific achievements, and proclaims the healing power of women's wisdom. The figuration spans centuries through the combination of ancient spiritual icons with modern portraiture of women and girls in all stages of life. Maestrapeace Art Works is a prestigious team of seven artists from different cultures and generations. The exhibition presents the mural and the process of creating it, along with artworks by the individual artists and current projects. The mural is the first of its kind, a mural devoted to women's history, and it is relevant to anyone who has wanted to see their dreams and visions recognized on a monumental scale. A tribute to the often hidden history of women's contributions to societies worldwide, Maestrapeace conveys cultural diversity and inclusion through portraiture, icons, fabric patterns, and 500 calligraphed names of women. In 2000, the Maestrapeace artists are celebrating the sixth anniversary of finishing the mural, the organization of Maestrapeace Art Works to continue their collaborative work together, and a "rebirth" of the mural with new sections to be unveiled in conjunction with building changes in 2000. Their process is a testament to community involvement and artistic collaboration. The exhibition and written material touch upon how to build community participation in a professionally painted mural, what assistance or lessons the community mural process can give to community organizing, and how the dynamic tension between individual and collective work can heighten both processes. Maestrapeace artists' slide lecture, 3/7. Cosponsors De Anza Visiting Speakers Committee, Women's History Month Committee, DASB, other committees. Video was produced. Lecture on art and feminism given by Director as part of Women's History Month activities, 3/8/00. Winter

Passing (Why
is it people feel the need to pass for something they are not?)11/23/99-1/27/00 Artists include Candi Farlice, Daniel Harris, Kay Kang, Lisa Kokin, Gayle Tanaka, Cynthia Tom, Timothy Taylor, Flo Oy Wong. 
Passing grew from an idea of artist co-curator Candi Farlice. When she was a child, she asked her mother, "Why does Hollis only come over at night?" The answer: "Because he's passing." While this instance was racial passing, the show addressed multiple forms and reasons - some people passing for advancement, others for survival. Artists and educators participated in the show's development. The exhibition Passing focused on the activity of passing for something else, on what is gained and what is lost. Immigrants often drop part of their surname or change it completely. Others pass for other cultures or races, perhaps for advancement, perhaps for survival. Most of us pass at one time or another. Demographics change when people are "in the closet." On the personal level, not being the person you are, your life can become a "lie." From another angle, passing can be connected with becoming - for example by way of surgery, education, or accumulation of wealth. The art of passing can be a positive life skill. The Passing exhibition examined this activity from a variety of viewpoints, such as race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation. Fall 1999

Fielder, Jo Hanson, Lynne Hull, Robin Lasser, Leza Lidow, Katherine Westerhout Mann. A focus on watersheds from the vantage points of art, ecology, and community building. "After all we are water too…": Jo Hanson. In collaboration with ARTSHIP Foundation, Watersheds included works by visual artists, ecology groups, and school children illuminating the local/regional, wild/cultivated, rural/urban, life-gathering phenomenon of watershed ranging over the simplicity-in-complexity of the subject. During the month of April, the exhibition incorporated Our Watershed, a collaborative public artwork created by hundreds of local elementary school students through the Arts & Schools Program. The exhibition conveys expressions from the subjective and evocative to the scientific and concrete. Some works illustrate the physical qualities of watersheds and the many communities and "habitat" styles within our Bay Area, or more distant watersheds. "Rain falls on a mountain ridge. Rivulets merge and rush below as creeks, then become streams, and farther down rivers. Life clusters. Forests, pastures, fields. Cities. Everywhere waters are directed, carving land forms, attracting particular plant, animal, and human communities, inviting exchange. Watersheds. Water webs."

As an arts, culture, and education center, ARTSHIP represented the transformation for peaceful use of the T/S Golden Bear, once a 1930s cargo and passenger ship, then a troop carrier in WWII, later a training vessel. Rooms of the ship would become exhibition spaces. Curatorial team with Slobodan Dan Paich, Artistic Director, ARTSHIP Foundation, and Victor Faessel, Environmental Literacy Coordinator. Winter

Connections1/6-2/12/98 Exhibition in two parts. One part, curated by art history instructor Elizabeth Mjelde, focused on works by Lucretia Van Horn, an artist trained within the European academic tradition, and examined different seasons in her career in relation to systems of mutual influence and support. The other part referred to eight contemporary artists, of South Asian origin, who had recently connected by way of the research of artist Soumya Sitaraman. Reconsidering the Retrospective: Lucretia Van Horn (1882-1970). Spanning several decades, works by Lucretia Van Horn offer a revealing look at formal tendencies in twentieth-century art prior to the period of postmodernism. The particular story presented by this retrospective underscores the importance of support systems for artists, recalling Van Horn's connections with individuals and institutions such as I'Academie Julian in Paris, the San Francisco Art Association, and, ultimately, a small artist colony in Palo Alto where the artist lived for nearly thirty years. The exhibition coincides with the new course "Women, Society, and the Visual Arts" offered jointly by the Art History and Womens Studies programs at De Anza College. "Reconsidering the Retrospective" is sponsored in part by the Cupertino Educational Endowment Foundation. Under One Roof; Artists of South Asian Origin in the Bay Area, Romilla Batra, Meera Desai, Pertrii K. Gill, Zarina, Anjana Joshi, Swati Kapoor, Soumya Sitaraman. Researcher/artist Soumya Sitaraman states: "It is the first attempt to bring these artists together under one roof." With a diversity of expression in painting, sculpture, furniture, and installation, these artists of South Asian descent have charted a course in the U.S. art world. Many have built substantial reputations. They participate in various art-world organizations, some pan-Asian, but none solely related to South Asia. The artists are learning of each other's art and ideas. The exhibition provides a look at artwork from a previously unseen facet of our society, and a glimpse of a process of discovery. Under One Roof, publication, 2 pages, writing and image for each artist. Companion exhibition curated for Sunnyvale Creative Arts Center Gallery, Connections, 1/9-2/28/98, Susan Mathews, Paintings, Josefina Bates, Installation.

Land Values2/25-4/24/97 Artists and organizations include Susan Leibovitz Steinman working with students, Mari Andrews, Antonio Castro, Jun Maeda, Guillermo Pulido, Karen Sjoholm, Marta Thoma, Brian Tripp, Tricia Ward, Kehinde Wiley, ARTScorpsLA, ARTSHIP Foundation. A look at the values we place on land, and how these values relate to labor, history, culture, the environment, and our inner lives. Painting, sculpture, installations. Included Looking for the Creek on Stevens Creek Boulevard, a large outdoor installation by Susan Leibovitz Steinman working with students and instructors from different disciplines at De Anza College. Less than twenty years ago, land and farm labor were highly visible in Silicon Valley. Today the vital and historical connections of land to food to labor are hidden, as development takes over even in the Central Valley of California and farm labor camps are often placed out of sight, far from the road. Instead we pave over the land and fight to preserve some open space here, some access there. In our bigger cities, we try to reclaim parks from disuse and abuse, to recover derelict land, or plant a community garden for a little green, a little life, an "organic" vegetable, or a place for contemplating, connecting. The artists in Land Values shed light on these ideas through art and processes. With representative works by Mynor King and Rebecca Palmer, who exhibited in a companion show of Land Values in Sunnyvale. In April, the exhibition incorporated New Growth, a collaborative public artwork created by hundreds of local elementary school students through the Arts & Schools Program. Lecture by Susan Leibovitz Steinman regarding her work and Planning Sessions with students regarding her installation, 1/22. Then several weeks of Collaborative Outdoor Installation of Looking For the Creek on Stevens Creek Boulevard, in, around and on top of the Euphrat Museum. Collaboration with Duane Kubo, Warren Lucas, Elizabeth Mjelde regarding class presentation, installation, and performance in conjunction with Susan Leibovitz Steinman's installation for Land Values. Indoor Installation included writings from Kubo's Asian American Studies class. Lucas and his dance students created and performed a dance piece around some of the symbolic elements in Steinman's installation: automobile tires, shopping carts, and endangered river Photos: Susan Leibovitz Steinman works with recycled materials, such as old car tires and shopping carts, in a manner that includes environmental and cultural awareness. (During a Euphrat performance a cart repossession agent actually tried to reclaim the shopping carts.)

Works in various media by artists who recently immigrated to the U.S. and now live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Part 2 focused on social, political, and historical issues and on how the artists synthesized ideas from the different cultures they have experienced. Their countries of origin include Cambodia, Ethiopia, Iran, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Poland, the former USSR, Taiwan, Turkey, Vietnam. Woven throughout is the concept of immigration as representative of the common human experiences of continual and rapid change, shifting identities, and loss of a secure place called home. The exhibition is about cultural identity, about "home," literally and figuratively, and about recent history as the artists have lived it. The artists offer observations and commentaries about social, political, and historical issues, synthesizing and building upon ideas drawn from the different cultures they have experienced. Part 2 asks viewers to examine the works of art in light of two questions "What do you have to say?" and "How have you developed a way to be here?"

This exhibition examined issues of art tourism and cultural dialogues through works from within and outside the art world. Tourism is not only one of several approaches to travel but also the world's number one industry. In 1989, nearly 15 million U.S. citizens traveled abroad, many as tourists. From the travel brochures and maps they examine, to the postcards they send, to the souvenirs they purchase, tourists participate in numerous visual decisions rich in cultural implications. For example, tourists' large-scale purchase of some forms of traditional art - aboriginal paintings from Australia, adire cloth from Nigeria-has empowered the artists' communities both economically and politically. Expanded (6-page) announcement for World of Difference, with quotes about art and tourism. Fall 1992

An exhibition of work by eight contemporary American artists that encourages discussion about the concept of "freedom" and the other side of the coin, "responsibility." The exhibition concept was proposed by Deborah Kennedy, whose interactive installation, For Freedom, spans a gallery wall and addresses the four freedoms defined by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941. In the Euphrat investigative style, queries and discussions brought up more freedoms, widely different meanings of freedom, and the sobering reality that a symbol of freedom to one person can often be a symbol of oppression to another. Some of the works were created with concepts of "freedom" in mind. Others brought insights to the word after their completion.

Through art, models, and documentation (photographs, slides and written materials), In the Public Eye offers the opportunity to explore questions such as: How can an artwork reflect local history? What makes a public art program successful? How do some public artworks become living places or personified objects? This exhibition on public art, with local, national, and international participation, had particular relevance to the college because of a new district policy to purchase art for the campus. The show included a preview of faculty member Sal Pecoraro's model for the Sunken Garden in front of Flint Center. Slides, posters, and articles are available for viewing. Eight-page booklet. Booklet art included Untitled, Wendy Watriss, 1987, photograph from Watriss's series on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington D.C., by Maya Ying Lin. Watriss: "It has a life of its own.

Men stand guard for the others who have died, and for those still missing." Art included replica of Goddess of Democracy, 1990, plaster, 9.5' tall, created by Thomas Marsh and Bay Area students who remain anonymous for security reasons.

Collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the U.S. Committee for Refugees. Focused on art by refugees and about refugees from around the world-displaying contemporary and historical examples in painting, sculpture, photography, textiles, and printmaking. There were over twelve million refugees worldwide in 1987. Works in the exhibition provide insight to the human story of expulsion: tales of the old country, the journey, and the new country. While the refugee experience is often harrowing, it is an integral and inescapable part of the life of many highly creative artists. Most of us are aware of the intellectual refugee migration from Europe around the time of World War II. Few know the extent of the recent migration of artists from South Africa, Vietnam, El Salvador and Poland. BOOK: Art of the Refugee Experience, 1987. Produced and edited by Jan Rindfleisch in conjunction with the Euphrat exhibition.

In conjunction with the twentieth anniversary of the art and photography departments of De Anza College, the Euphrat Gallery exhibited art of alumni. Back in Touch was a long deserved look at a substantial body of art arising from Cupertino, Sunnyvale and the surrounding area, a changing suburban environment. Most often art circles are described by their cities-the San Francisco or L. A. "scene." Now there are maturing Silicon Valley cities with their own art "scenes," replete with expanded artist studios, established galleries and city art commissions. In this growth process, college art departments, such as De Anza College's, have consistently provided the artistic boost, the essential nurturing environment and the critical forum for art. MINI-CATALOG: The Back in Touch mini-catalog, 1987, which accompanied the exhibition, calls attention to the vitality and professionalism of the art community locally. See PUBLICATIONS. Euphrat Gallery fundraiser/display held at home of Binnie Quist. Presentations by Joan Barram, Board Vice President, and Ruth Grant, artist.

Content Art:
Contemporary Issues 10/19-11/16/85 This first "traveling" show of the Euphrat was curated by Jan Rindfleisch and took place at Southern Exposure Gallery in San Francisco. The show was about explicit, recognizable content and contemporary issues. For the artists it was clear - they wanted to make a point in their art, and if it needed to be spelled out, that's what they did. The exhibition was designed for idea exchange among artists and viewers. It evolved into the January Content exhibit at the Euphrat. Euphrat Board reception/tour at Content exhibit in San Francisco, followed by dinner at Culinary Academy, 11/1. Evening reception/tour of the Content exhibition for the California Art Education Association, Northern Area, aimed at curriculum development for exhibition when it came to the Euphrat.

Explores the role art collectors play in the growing arts consciousness of the Valley's rapidly expanding technical/business community. Silicon Valley is watched as a model of the future, yet where is it on the cultural map, specifically the arts map? One answer comes from looking at its collectors. They form the framework that holds a visual arts community together. Exhibition and book present collecting from the point of view of collectors, artists, gallery and museum people. The collectors represent diverse occupations and interests. Artworks included the original 1926 illustration by Clara Burd for the cover of Little Women, a colorful aquatint by Fernand Leger, a ceramic sandwich sculpture by David Gilhooly, one of Deborah Butterfield's wood-and-mud horse sculptures, the high-tech art of Larry Bell, and the stunning, almost life-size figure of Micah, a linoleum cut by Charles White.

Accompanying the exhibit was a critical essay by Michael S. Bell. Bell has been researching Surrealism for ten years. He states that "it is a high and timely priority of contemporary esthetics" to find a way of understanding the breadth of Surrealism, a form of representational art that has been practiced since the Renaissance. Bell made a short presentation during the reception 10/17. This exhibition is dedicated to the memories of artist Agnes Pelton and collector Dr. Roger Stinnard. Michael S.

Presents viewpoints, issues, art, and artists, all relating to the subject of "faces," and addresses questions such as: When do faces in art affect people, instruct people? Highlights diversity of expression, background, age, occupation, and condition of life. A commissioned portrait of Lucile and David Packard, a Leo Holub uncommissioned portrait of Imogen Cunningham, Signe Wilkinson's caricature of Governor Deukmejian are displayed along with Jean La Mar's etching Urban Indian Girls, Richard Bermack's documentary photograph of "radical elder" Irving Fromer, a face from a public mural, a face drawn using computers and "artificial intelligence" and a mother's face drawn by her child. Faces from art world, science, business, politics, the streets, the schools. Faces in art are important-for identifying and remembering people, for reading emotions and intentions, and for self-discovery. Artists, politicians, and the media understand the powerful influence that an image of a face can have. Additional insights can be gained from faces in art when they are grouped in such a way that they interact with each other. "… the works in FACES speak to one another; it is for us to listen in at their conversations; it is for us to ponder what they say," Fred Martin, artist, Vice President of Academic Affairs, San Francisco Art Institute.

Therese May, Katherine Huffaker. Patricia Rodriguez, Ellen Linnea Dipprey. Mildred Howard, Suzaan Boettger. Carmen Lomas Garza, Ellen Linnea Dipprey. Points up how knowledge about archives can be used by artists to help ensure their future visibility, and sets forth issues in the "making of art history." Focuses on the variety of what can get lost from the records: a portion of a famous artist's life or work; the historical/critical significance of the artist, once "in favor," but since neglected; the life and work of the isolated artist, the artist with several careers, the non-traditional artist.

Men and Children11/12-12/12/80 Artists include David Bradford, John Takami Morlta, Tetsuya Noda, James Rosen, Lew Thomas, Marvin Wax, Ray Holbert. Among the Tiv in northern Nigeria, after a baby is 6 months old, it is handed over to an older brother, sister, or cousin, who thereafter carries the baby about on the hip… "I have seen an old man introduce another, with deep affection, as 'The brother who carried me on his hip.' For this bond, set up in childhood, is sacred even beyond other ties of blood." Return to Laughter, Eleanor Smith Bowen 
An exhibition of art created by male artists and in some way related to children. The number of works in this genre over the centuries is insufficient to call this even a minor theme in Western art. Lew Thomas (San Francisco) worked collaboratively with his daughter; Tetsuya Noda (Japan) made prints based on the everyday activities of his family; David Bradford (Berkeley) formed images of strength for black children; James Rosen (Santa Rosa), known in galleries for large minimal paintings, drew a personal art filled with views of his own children in a manner reminiscent of old masters.
