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

"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."

The art that goes on in most high schools is usually relatively skill-based. At Oxbow, there is more emphasis on looking and seeing and more critical thinking about what you are doing, the human connection, that personal element. Through art you can begin to understand yourself better. That may be the biggest eye-opener for students. It is almost a preview of college. Get out of the mechanical factory high school education and get into something open, new, and invigorating in a small environment.

— Bill Barrett, Former Oxbow Board Member, Former Executive Director of Association, College of Art and Design (AICAD)

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

— Jamie Roux, Spring 2003

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
