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.

WISE37 exhibits a large tree sculpture they made out of recycled materials collected
from students and around campus. Art students and other museum viewers are encouraged
to add elements to make it a more powerful statement. W.I.S.E. 37 stands for Working
to Institute a Sustainable Environment on the 37th Parallel. It is a De Anza environmental
club working on issues on and off campus. For more information, visit www.wise37.com.
