Casey Gollan and Victoria Sobel just received the 2015-2017 Fellowship with The New School's Vera List Center for Art and Politics.
"Victoria Sobel and Casey Gollan's work grapples with incoherence, non-aspiration, and compromise in the face of entropic institutions, systems, and paradigms. During their fellowship, they will explore alternative models of student governance, transparency, and accountability, informed by their ongoing engagement around the controversial introduction of tuition at Cooper Union, their alma mater."

"The newly commissioned work for Left Coast, titled PROVISIONING, brings together Futurefarmers founder, Amy Franceschini (b. 1970) with Audrey Snyder and Joe Riley. Audrey Snyder first hailed to Futurefarmers in 2006 from Oxbow School in the Napa Valley of California. Audrey has woven in and out of Futurefarmers projects'Soil Kitchen, Soul Sermons and Tree University. Audrey's deep interest in food systems manifests in the palate through hyper local menus and work with small farms. Joe Riley is a sea worthy artist and activist involved in the long struggle for (truly) public education. This triad has assembled for CUNY with an aligned interest in the seafaring journey as a collective departure into the sea of the unknown."

Casey Gollan is working at the School for Poetic Computation, an artist run school in New York founded in 2013. A small group of students and faculty work closely to explore the intersections of code, design, hardware and theory - focusing especially on artistic intervention. It's a hybrid of a school, residency and research group.
I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.

Oxbow School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!
— Stephen Beal, President, California College of the Arts
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.
