Daniele Frazier is seeking volunteers to help plant 3000 tulip bulbs in Highland Park, Brooklyn. She will be planting a 28-foot diameter circle of red tulips that will bloom in early spring of next year. This is a continuation of her artistic collaboration with NYC Parks and the Cypress Hills neighborhood.

When: 10am-5pm on December 7th
Where: Enter Lower Highland Park at Elton and Jamaica Ave and walk up the hill just north of the eastern baseball diamond. Map link here.
Transportation: J train to Cleveland

She needs your help digging holes and placing bulbs for any period of time you can offer between 10am and 5pm. This is a great opportunity to have hands-on involvement in a public artwork and to get to know the community. Water, snacks, and tools will be provided. She will be joined by high school students from the neighborhood.

Please spread the word! If you can make it, email me at danielefrazier@gmail.com so I can get a rough headcount of volunteers. Thank you!

Daniele Frazier's most recent exhibition Small, Medium, Large was held this summer in Woodbury, CT.

"From sketch to tabletop model to work that dwarfs the artist, creating public art necessarily articulates stages in time: beginning, middle and end; conceived, constructed, created. The manifestation of large, durable work similarly spans artistic and technical approach: the artist must employ drafting, architectural model-making, physics, and engineering to achieve a “finished” project. The resulting mental gymnastics – the movement from “small” to “medium” to “large” – inform the title of this show." – Caitlin Tully

Installation, 2016, ceramic, lights, mirror

"In August 2015, with funding from the Asian Cultural Council, Oakland-based artist Gabby Miller crossed the Pacific Ocean on the CMA CGM Gemini, a 380-meter-long container ship, to Xiamen, China. On board, she developed Turquoise Wake (Coal, Air, Chicken & Shit), an ongoing project that explores the movement of goods, people and power across ocean lines. The body of work includes paintings she made with the ship’s engine oil, photographs she took at sea, fragments from family archives, and the piece 609 Containers (1967), a pile of small-scale ceramic recreations of shipping containers."

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.

— Malachi Snyder, Spring 2018

It's been a whirlwind week, but also a time when I sang the praises of Oxbow to my colleagues. I've been thinking much about how Oxbow is an exemplar of true education. That art centers the curriculum is hardly surprising, and for those of us who work within the traditional educational mold Oxbow offers a gold standard of focused project based learning. Beyond the school's approach to immersive experience are the intangibles which make Oxbow different. The sense of community and of working together, even as each student retained their strong individual presence is palpable. The feeling of warmth and trust between the adults and the nearly adults in the Oxbow community could be felt throughout the campus. The openness of the architecture and interconnectedness of the three studios in themselves speak of the Oxbow philosophy and identity. More than form follows function, the physical attributes of Oxbow have a distinct warmth and invite exploration.

I'm sure that the ongoing challenges of leading and reinventing your school might sometimes keep you from having the time to see Oxbow with the fresh eyes of a visitor, but your steady presence and vision are really visible in every detail. Thank you for inviting me to one of the most profound experiences in my career.

Oxbow forced me to create, and by creating, I established foundation for my thought.
