Stewart Uoo's exhibition Curtains opened at the 47 Canal street gallery January 16 and is on view until February 14, 2016.

"In Curtains, Stewart Uoo cannibalizes casual menswear, from sweats, fleece, fatigues and polos, in order to string up the male form as window decor. These curtains, which revisit an earlier body of work, hang on flocked plasma-cut steel finial capped hardware derived from window treatments commonly found in department store displays as well as form the decorative applique of men's trousers, embroider, ornaments from metal fencing, and design elements from contemporary painting." - Read full press release at 47 Canal

Uoo was Oxbow's OS31 (Fall 2014) Alumni Visiting Artist Lecturer. See more of his work at 47 Canal gallery.

At Oxbow, I got to try inquiry-based learning for the first time. This allowed me to control the amount of rigor and the depth of research in my topic, as well as picking a topic that I found most interesting. From going through this new process of learning, I feel excited to go back to the rigor of my sending school to apply the inquiry-based perspective to my classes.

At Oxbow, the eye and the hand are inseparable from the mind and because their peers are also artists, students adopt fresh attitudes toward their work.

Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.
