The past few weeks, OS30 has been busy with Project X - the first longterm and self directed project in the Oxbow semester. "Project X"is, in fact, a codename for a project holding a very special place in Oxbow's mythology that is unquestionably the turning point of each semester. We can't tell you many details (you'll just have to attend for the full scoop!), but the basic idea is that students are given a very basic prompt that is meant to jumpstart a unique mode of inquiry. At this point, students determine the content of their pieces, their media, and are responsible for developing robust research and work ethics to advance their art.
There's been a break out of diverse projects including aspects such as paraffin wax preserved plants, plaster and latex casts and molds, painted clay on canvas, a documentary or two, and even a sculpture repurposing a Project X from OS29.
We've combed the studios to get great shots for you! We hope you enjoy this sneak peek into one of Oxbow's most definitive (and secretive!) projects.
