Welcome from Santa Clara University’s SCU•Presents 

WE’RE EXCITED TO INVITE YOU TO EXPLORE 

and enjoy our ever-expanding arts at SCU. Just as the 

arts open people’s hearts and minds through inventiveness 

and creativity, our doors are open to students, staff, 

and the community at large to experience all the beauty 

and inspiration that art has to offer. 

With the goal of social engagement through the arts, 

we have a wide variety of new, exciting events planned 

that are designed to inspire and entertain. And perhaps, 

we all may learn something about ourselves, our community, 

and the world in general while we relish these 

stimulating experiences. 

OPENING MORE DOORS 

As part of SCU’s tradition of educating the whole person, 

we nurture minds and bodies to communicate in 

whole new ways— and to entertain you!

the crown jewel of the neighborhood, the dynamic

arts on campus, which includes SCU•Presents, Theatre

you’ll join us and share in the many experiences available 

this season.

Arcadia is a play concerning the relationship between past and 

present, order and disorder, certainty and uncertainty. 

Set in an English country house, Arcadia takes place in both 

1809/1812 and the present day (1993 in the original production). 

The activities of two modern scholars and the house’s 

current residents are juxtaposed with those of the people 

who lived there in the earlier period. It has been praised by 

many critics as the finest play from one of the most significant 

contemporary playwrights in the English language. 

Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. 

Arcadia contains occasional coarse language and adult themes.

contemporary conundrum known as ‘the relationship.’

Majestic palm trees. Bountiful sunshine. Wide walkways

for study, reflection, and discussion. Using techniques 

pioneered by Sinatra Visiting Artist Anna Deavere Smith, and

brother from the condemnation of the villain Angelo? 

SCU’s production illuminates Shakespeare’s colorful plot 

to tell this singular tale of morality and manipulation.

DEPARTMENT OF 

ART & ART HISTORY 

WE ARE PLEASED TO START THE NEXT CHAPTER of the University’s visual arts program with an inspiring 

new physical environment: THE EDWARD M. DOWD ART AND ART HISTORY BUILDING opening in Fall 2016. 

The Department of Art and Art History disciplines integrate theory with practice. Studio Art students gain 

a foundation in Art History, and those studying Art History acquire practical experience in the process 

of making art. The Studio Art program pairs intensive hands-on work with an emphasis on analysis, 

research, and writing to prepare majors for all types of creative careers. Art History examines 

human history, religion, psychology, sociology, politics, science, and culture through art. 

The Excitement Is Building! 

All exhibitions and symposium are held in the Edward M. Dowd Art and Art History 

Building, unless otherwise noted. In addition to professional and student exhibitions, 

the Department of Art and Art History hosts events every first Friday of the month from 

October through June. Other events include faculty and student get togethers such as 

Pizza with the Profs, Coffee with Profees, Pechu Kucha Night and the Lecture Series with 

the de Saisset Museum.

PROFESSIONAL ART EXHIBITIONS AND LECTURES 

Creating and Collecting: New Faculty Work 

and Collection Acquisitions for the de Saisset Museum 

September 19 ~ November 18, 2016 

OPENING RECEPTION Friday, October 7 | 5 ~ 7p.m. 

These exciting side-by-side exhibitions showcase recent work by the 

Department of Art and Art History studio faculty and collaborative work 

between the Department’s art historians, de Saisset Museum, and Santa 

Clara University students. 

Over the past ten years, our students have collaborated with the de Saisset 

Museum and the Department of Art and Art History on six acquisition 

projects, selecting thirty-three artworks for the Museum’s permanent 

collection. Many were developed as Acquisition for Diversity projects, 

to help the Museum pursue its dedication to acquiring works of art that 

showcase artists and communities that are under-appreciated and 

under-recognized. 

CURATED EXHIBITION 

April 3 ~ 28, 2017 

OPENING RECEPTION 

Thursday, April 13 | 5 ~ 7p.m. 

This curated group exhibit will be judged by John Seed. John Seed is 

a professor of art and art history at Mt. San Jacinto College in Southern 

California. Seed has written about art and artists for Arts of Asia, Art 

Ltd., Catamaran, Harvard Magazine, International Artist, Hyperallergic 

and Poets and Artists. 

His interests and specialties include Bay Area Figurative art, contemporary 

figurative art and Hawaiian, Philippines, and Southeast Asian art of the 

19th and 20th centuries. 

Recent studio faculty artworks, produced in a wide variety of media, 

address a range of contemporary issues in art and society. The contemporary 

themes include such topics as self-expression, technology’s place in 

art, immigration and race, human interactions with nature, and the impact 

of gender and consumer society on our sense of self. 

Together, these two exhibitions provide a window on the visual arts at 

Santa Clara University. 

AMER KOBASLIJA: Visiting Artist Exhibition 

January 9 ~ March 10, 2017 

OPENING RECEPTION Tuesday, March 7 | 5 ~ 7p.m. 

Originally from Banjaluka in Bosnia, Amer Kobaslija (b. 1975) fled his 

war-ravaged homeland in 1993 to a refugee camp in Nuremberg, Germany. 

Later he traveled to Düsseldorf, where he attended the Kunst Akademie. In 

1997, Kobaslija was offered asylum by the United States and immigrated 

to Florida. There in Sarasota he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the 

Ringling College of Art and Design. In 2003 he went on to pursue a Master 

of Fine Arts degree at the Montclair College of the Arts in New Jersey and 

has since established his base in New York City. 

A 2013 Guggenheim Fellow for painting, Kobaslija has had numerous 

one-person exhibitions in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, 

and New Orleans. He is represented by George Adams Gallery in New York 

where he has had seven solo shows in the last decade, including the 2015- 

16 traveling survey exhibition “Amer Kobaslija: Places, Spaces.” In conjunction 

with this exhibition, George Adams Gallery published a comprehensive 

monograph on Kobaslija’s art and life. Kobaslija’s paintings have 

been reviewed and reproduced in numerous publications including The 

New York Times, Art in America, ARTNews, Art & Antiques, New York 

Magazine, New York Time Out, The Village Voice, The Florida Times Union, 

The San Francisco Chronicle and The Japan Times.

ARTS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE 

Courage and the Three C’s in Action 

GENERATIONS OF SANTA CLARA 

alumni have come to live by the competence, 

conscience, and compassion they 

cultivated as students of a Jesuit education. 

Essentially, these core tenets create effective, 

ethical community leaders who live in solidarity 

with those who are suffering. But the 

three C’s take courage, and social justice art 

is a shining example of all that is necessary 

to live an actionable life. This is art that records 

history, contextualizes culture, exhibits 

imagination, and harnesses individual 

and social transformation. But more than 

that, it is art that courageously generates social 

awareness and galvanizes young and old 

around social injustice affecting communities 

far and wide. This is art that has found 

a home on the SCU campus. 

ART, SOCIETY, AND JUSTICE 

Santa Clara University’s Arts for Social 

Justice (ASJ) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary 

initiative that raises awareness about 

critical matters affecting the collective human 

condition—through a wide variety of 

art forms both on and off campus—and fosters 

dialogue and action in the community. 

“Encompassing a wide range of visual 

and performing art, our program aims to 

raise critical consciousness, build community, 

and motivate individuals to promote 

social change,” says Butch Coyne, director 

of the SCU•Presents ASJ program. “We work 

with diverse groups of students, faculty, and 

alumni, through the arts, to raise awareness 

and affect change by inspiring individuals 

to be social justice catalysts in the community 

they serve.” This integrated process ultimately 

equips students with analytical tools 

to understand inequality and the compassion 

to stand alongside the marginalized and poor. 

While broken into three components— 

Outreach, Visiting Artists, and Partnerships— 

all programming “expands beyond the University 

and impacts not only Santa Clara 

students, but our community,” says Coyne. 

“Social justice art isn’t just about the SCU 

students’ involvement now and after graduation, 

but the impact they have on the lives 

of those they advocate for as a result of their 

artistic expression.” 

Through performance and dialogue, the 

Outreach component connects students, 

faculty, and alumni with local schools and 

communities, challenging the young minds 

to address relevant social problems like immigration, 

poverty, bullying, as well as foster 

both awareness and action on the topic. Back 

at SCU, the Visiting Artists component engages 

all those on campus in a dialogue about 

social justice issues with professional artists. 

Last year, artist and activist Matthew Works 

ignited action among students thanks to his 

discussion on poverty and homelessness from 

his perspective as a homeless man. 

For students, faculty, and staff looking to 

obtain grants or develop their own art projects 

addressing social justice issues, the Partnership 

component aims to make their ideas a 

reality. 

“Last year, Marissa Martinez ’16 wrote 

an original play on race and identity called 

Hapa Cup of Sugar,” says Samantha Pistoresi, 

coordinator for the program. “Through our 

partnership, we were able to present 

her beautiful theater piece, which 

inspired other students to get 

involved, as well as connect our 

programming back to the essence 

of Santa Clara’s core curriculum.” 

Next up? A formal film series focused 

on kindling not just conversation 

but social change. The first film, 

Cartel Land, which follows two 

modern-day vigilante groups and 

their shared enemy, the murderous 

Mexican drug cartels, will screen on 

October 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Music 

Recital Hall. 

Through ASJ, local middle school 

students will be able to experience 

Breaking Through, an autobiographical 

performance based on the book by the 

same name. Written by SCU professor 

emeritus Francisco Jimeñez—who 

at the age of four illegally crossed the 

U.S.-Mexico border with his family in 

1947—this compelling tale follows the 

family through their migrant worker circuit, 

where impermanence, poverty, and precarity 

define their daily lives. 

As you can see, ASJ transports us into the 

reality of the most pressing social issues of our 

time. At an elemental level, it promotes competence, 

raises consciousness, inspires compassion, 

and calls us to advocate courageously. 

These values are of the utmost importance 

to foster throughout the Santa Clara campus—and 

beyond—through all who interact 

with campus, its members, and their art. This 

is the program dedicated to that end. •

shapes that were impossible to realize through conventional processes 

of sculptural production. This exhibition is guest curated by Hilarie
