Beginning Glassblowing

Corey Pemberton June 19 – July 2 || 2-weeks GLASS 601 001 || 3 credits $300 Lab Fee This course offers hands-on glassblowing experience to the beginner. Participants learn a variety of techniques for manipulating molten “hot glass” into vessel or sculptural forms. Lectures, videos, demonstrations, and critiques will augment studio instruction.

Go With the Flow

Michael Hernandez June 5-18 || 2-weeks GLASS 650 001 3 credits || $300 Lab Fee Working in molten glass requires an acute ability to be sensitive to the forces of heat, gravity, and centrifugal force. We will train the hands to adapt and react to these forces as a means to control the material, but more importantly, to understand its physical and formal possibilities. The objects and residue of glassblowing and sculpting processes will become elemental to further investigate the ability of glass to incorporate, adulterate, obfuscate spaces in installation and sculpture. Taking cues from the early experimental practices of artists such as Richard Serra and Lynda Benglis, students will gain a deeper knowledge of glass by examining its properties to be both manipulated and understood as a dynamic, fluid medium. Exercises in writing/word play and drawing will challenge students to think about material and metaphorical possibilities to glass and the hot processes used to manipulate it. Assigned projects will address the use of glass components in multiple part sculpture and installation achieved through assemblage, cold construction/gluing, and mixed media.

June 5-18 || 2-weeks CER 655 001 3 credits || $150 Lab Fee

This class is an introduction to working and thinking with glass. Focused on contextualizing flameworking within contemporary sculpture, this workshop is ideal for artists crossing over from other disciplines who would like to translate their ideas into glass. The goal of the class is to complete two finished sculptures, which are both structurally sound and conceptually tight. Blending traditional and unconventional flameworking techniques, students are encouraged to explore the material and expand their artistic vocabulary. We will consider the material qualities of glass in the context of drawing, painting, sculpture, and performance. Students can use glass as an opportunity to connect materiality to related disciplines such as literature, psychology, optics, poetry, and architecture. The coursework will include a combination of technical exercises designed to improve hand skills, contextual presentations, and group critique.

In this course, students will use the natural environment of Ox-Bow as inspiration and material through clay impressions to make a sculptural or a functional body of work via handbuilding or wheel throwing. We will explore the natural, alternative, and sustainable processes available in the ceramics studio which may include making ash glazes from local plants, clay mold making from natural elements, pit firing processes, and wood firing with a waste fryer oil assist. We may look at the work of Maria Martinez and Shoji Hamada for inspiration and readings may include selections from historical and contemporary wood fired ceramics texts. Students will participate in daily demonstrations exploring new techniques and consider aesthetics with a focus on sustainable and regenerative processes in the ceramic field. The class is tailored to students of any skill level and will culminate with a wood fire and presentation of final projects.

June 19 - July 2 2-weeks || CER 658 001 3 credits || $200 Lab Fee

August 14-27 || 2-weeks CER 656 001 3 credits || $150 Lab Fee

In this course, students will produce handcrafted ceramic tiles, forage for ceramic materials, and gain knowledge on material ecologies. Students will be taught techniques in tile making including slab making, reusing ceramic residue, and various methods in surface design. Taking advantage of the unique setting of Ox-Bow, we will forage for materials from local clay deposits and transform them in the ceramics studio. Students in this course will collaborate on a sitespecific installation, and contribute to a permanent tiled outdoor mural on Ox-Bow’s campus. This class will be informed by the work of artists including Nek Chand, Isaiah Zagar, and Mary Nohl. Readings can include Carrier Bag Theory by Ursula Le Guin. Assignments will include tile making, surface treatment exercises, ceramic recycling methods, discussion, and participation in the culminating mosaic mural.

In this course, students will use the potter’s wheel to create thrown forms. Through practice and demonstration, participants will hone skills to successfully build scale and refine pieces in clay. Pre-Columbian work will provide insight, as well as contemporary artists which may include Shio Kusaka and Betty Woodman. Demonstrations will focus on centering, producing uniformity, and glazing techniques. Through assignments including throwing many pots in succession, students will become familiar with the disposability and ephemerality inherent to the medium and aim to master its spontaneity. This class will culminate in group critique and is open to students of all levels.

Hard Lines: Drawing with Steel

Devin Balara & Abigail Lucien Deadpan: Steel Realism

Chris Bradley June 19 - July 2 || 2-weeks SCULP 671 001 || 3 credits || $50 Lab Fee When representation in steel is achieved the result can often be both playful and hollow. In this process-based intensive, students will consider how much visual and physical information is necessary in the pursuit of realism and experiment with the formal limits of steel. Inspiration can be drawn from a common object, local or organic materials, and/or fictive designs to explore the whimsy of trompe l'oeil. This class is open to participants of all shop experience levels. Demonstrations on sheet cutting, creating negative space through rod work, scale exercises, and surface applications both traditional and unconventional will inform the student's self-directed work. Students will be expected to complete at least one sculpture and are encouraged to consider its in-situ presentation at Ox-Bow during a final group critique.

August 7-13 || 1-week SCULP 663 001 || 1.5 credits || $50 Lab Fee This hybrid sculpture and drawing course will focus on steel fabrication and the translation of line on paper to line in space. Students will learn to use steel as a drawing material with demonstrations in hot and cold bending, modular construction, welding, and finishing strategies. Technical demos and work time will accompany discussions about daily sketchbook practices and the ways in which literal weight can be given to simple doodles or cartoon graphics. This course is suitable for all levels of shop experience; students will quickly gain confidence with equipment and be encouraged to play and improvise independently with the material at as large a scale as they choose. Students are required to complete 3 assignments over the course of the week, one which will reinforce basic knowledge of linear steel fabrication and safety, and two further assignments, utilizing linear steel drawings at the scale of the student’s choosing. Ultimately, students may deploy work into a particular site or landscape and let their sketches stretch their legs.

Multi-Level Foundry

Brent Harris August 14-27, 2022 || 2-weeks SCULP 660 001 || 3 credits || $200 Lab Fee In this multilevel metal casting course, students will learn the fundamentals of pattern generation, simple and multi-part mold making techniques with sodium silicate bonded sand, casting with bronze and aluminum and finishing and patination techniques for their castings. Explorations will be informed by the materiality of molten metal and molding processes, the history and technologies of metal casting, and discussion of cast metal sculpture in contemporary art. In the spirit of there is no "I" in foundry, teamwork and safe foundry practices form the foundation of the course. Students will be encouraged to experiment and respond to the natural environment with patterns made at Ox-Bow in an open-air sculpture studio.

This survey course provides students of all levels with the opportunity to work on their own projects and expand their painting skills. Students will have dedicated access to the painting studio and will be encouraged to experiment with various materials and techniques. Demonstrations may present techniques in acrylic or oil, sketching and planning processes, preparation of painting surfaces, and information on studio safety. The faculty will host presentations and lectures on relevant historical artists as well as contemporary painters, and students will engage in discussions, readings, screenings, and critiques with the group which illuminate painterly concerns and emphasize active decision making. Assignments are designed to build understanding of new methods, and students will conceive projects that reflect their interests. Instructors will be available to help facilitate individual, collaborative, and interdisciplinary projects and this course will culminate in a group critique.

In this interdisciplinary course, participants will invite music and poetry to inform their efforts in painting, drawing, and performance. The group will explore painterly strategies that foreground intuition within a structure and embrace poetic rhythm and syntax. In service of this creative integration, esteemed guests including poet and critic John Yau and musician and composer Ken Vandermark will lead students through demonstrations related to their fields. Pulling from the rich history of painters, writers, and musicians in concert, the class will look at the work of Joe Brainard and John Ashbury, John Cage, Merce Cunningham and Robert Rauchenberg, Joan Mitchell and John Schuyler, Katharina Grosse and Barry Schwabsky, and Alain Kirilli. Assignments will ask participants to practice the interpretation of words and sounds through painting and drawing techniques. The class will culminate in a symphonic performance of spoken and written word, music, and visuals designed by the students, faculty, and class guests.

Graduate Projects

Magalie Guérin June 19 – July 2 || 2-week MFA 6009 001 || 3 credits In this intensive, an intimate group of currently enrolled MFA students have the opportunity to independently study at Ox-Bow. Students will have dedicated studio space to work on projects of their design, either in response to the specific environment of Ox-Bow or to prepare for their thesis shows. Faculty will assume a mentorship role and assist the candidates in emphasizing their voice. Faculty will lead group conversations, critique, presentations, and other activities so as to encourage the rapid growth and connection amongst the graduates. Faculty will prepare a reader which will supplement the graduate’s time at Ox-Bow and group conversations, and host regular one-on-one studio visits. This course will culminate in an open studio event, welcoming the entire Ox-Bow community.

Beyond Borders: Finding Three Dimensions in Print & Bookbinding

Jeanine Coupe Ryding & Myungah Hyon The Living Archive The Expanded Field in the Expanding Field: Zines, Ephemera and Events

Jesse Malmed & Breanne Trammell June 5-18 || 2-weeks PRINT 661 001 || 3 credits $100 Lab Fee We will explore the power of the zine and happenings to challenge and circumnavigate societal norms and create alternative narratives that expand the field of art. Through platforming, students will discuss early experimental and contemporary models of show building and collaborate to initiate new projects and spaces on Ox-Bow’s tiny but bustling campus and the surrounding environments. Workshops on ephemera production, screenprinting, zine-making, and creative modes of public communication will be held. Students are encouraged to make their own work, work together with their peers, and/ or envision speculative projects. Engaging with histories and futures of artist-led initiatives in the Midwest and beyond including Temporary Allegiance, Trunk Show, Chances Dances, The Thing, and Speed Show, students will work to produce paratext, context and text to animate, assist and activate projects. Each project will feature printed matter and screenprinting techniques will be demonstrated. Readings, texts, and screenings will cover a range of content and include the curatorial and publishing practices from a variety of contemporary artists and organizers. Through a series of generative prompts and activities, students will conceptualize and organize site-responsive programmatic curatorial projects. Students may work independently or collaboratively, and/or with faculty on their proposals, installations, performances, and ephemera. The class will culminate in group critiques on one realized installation or performance.

Heather Hart & Jina Valentine June 19 – July 2 || 2-weeks PRINT 666 001 || 3 credits $50 Lab Fee The archive is alive. It evolves. It breathes. As such, it is limitless in scope and depth. As artists, we seek to make it knowable and harness its resources in the studio. In this course we will peer into black holes in archives [censored texts, omitted narratives, blacklisted individuals], test the limits of searchability [content elusive of metadata, errata, miscellania], and re-envision ways of finding and ways of knowing. The course is studio focused, but not media specific, and may encompass drawing, painting, collage techniques, and interventions in public spaces (á la the Situationist International). Our experimentations will be both individual and collaborative and will take the forms of performance, site specific sculpture, and drawing. We will work with the Saugatuck Historical Center archives, the Black Lunch Table archives, the Ox-Bow History archiving project, and Wikimedias. Texts and media will include A Glossary of Haunting (Tuck + Ree), Interacting with Print Elements of Reading in the Era of Print Saturation (Multigraph Collective), Constituting an Archive (Stuart Hall), various readings from Archives (Whitechapel publication), Wiki@20. Artists + collectives discussed will include Tahir Hemphill, Black Lunch Table, Joy Buolamwini, Nontsikelelo Mutiti, Braxton Shelley, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Steffani Jemison, Kameelah Janaan Rasheed, Grisha Coleman. In addition to practicing ongoing preservation work related to the Ox-Bow history archiving project, students will learn how to add and edit content on Wikipedia, create a body work which reflects an historical or archived area of interest, and work together on a collaborative site-based project involving research on the history of the place, installation, and performance.

August 7–13 || 1-week PRINT 658 001 || 1.5 credits $50 Lab Fee Participants will learn to create the illusion of three-dimensional woodcuts that are bound into sculptural book forms. Using a variety of approaches to registration and printing, participants will explore traditional and nontraditional methods of printmaking that will become content for their books. The class will include the following methods of folding paper/prints for bookbinding; simple accordion, hardcover accordion, crown, franklin, and triangular. Emphasis is on concept, self-expression, and acquiring skills. We will supply handouts, do demonstrations and provide examples of each technique. Each participant will have a good understanding of relief printmaking, the bookbinding forms taught in class and how content relates to form as well as their prints folded and bound into the books they have made. This class welcomes beginning through advanced skill levels and writers.

Screen Print Studio

Frances Lightbound August 14-27 ||2-weeks PRINT 665 001 || 3 credits $100 Lab Fee In this course, students will engage in the process of screen printing through an investigation of various image making techniques. Students will be challenged to compose images by exploring the additive framework of the printing process. Improvisational image making will be encouraged through demonstrations of varying stencil making approaches, hand mark-making processes, and found imagery. We will look at examples of screen printed work throughout history which may include Kiki Smith, Ghada Amer, Emmy Bright, and Sonnenzimmer. Discussions and assignments including creating hand-cut stencils and digitally designed CMYK projects will serve a final portfolio displaying a strong artistic voice. The final projects should demonstrate commitment to a screen printed project in a contemporary context. This class is open to students of all levels.

Archiving Ox-Bow: Creative Processes and Presence

Nicholas Lowe June 5-18 || 2-weeks HPRES 601 001 || 3 credits The archive of Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists Residency represents the long history of the school offering insights into the lives and experiences of those who created it and went there. This class will explore the archive through its physical material properties and the narrative and historical details it alludes to. Work will initially focus on the standards and expectations of physical care providing a handson working experience of archival processing and cataloging. Then moving to consider exploratory and responsive artistic and curatorial work with archival materials, leading to a questioning about the needs of this particular archive. The class will open with readings in material culture, collecting and object theory including, Jules Prown, Arlette Farge, Raphael Samuel, Edmund De Waal, and Jean Baudrillard. Moving then to an expanded consideration of the physical and intellectual material of archives through artistic responses and curatorial approaches, including work by artists Mark Bradford, Lauren Bon, Christian Boltanski, Nancy Spero and Victoria Martinez alongside the curatorial approaches of Harald Szeemann, Seymore Rosen, Fred Wilson, Orhan Pamuk, and others. Assignments will include both archival work and creative studio based making. Working on archival processing and cataloging provides a hands-on opportunity to explore the content of the archive. Then based on findings in the archive to work towards a creative and critical project in response to compelling aspects of the material, the form, the content, the concepts and the ideas.

The opportunity to teach in the summer program at Ox-Bow is something I've been looking forward to for a number of years - More than anything I'm looking forward to contributing to the diversity and long history of the organization - it's an exciting prospect and an honor to be asked to do this. - Nicholas Lowe, faculty of Archiving Ox-Bow: Creative

Since the caves at Lascaux, food has been an original subject of art. In this course we will explore representation of food in art; employing food as a media itself; and the participatory possibilities of cooking, serving, and dining as artforms. We will examine cultural and political implications of what we eat and how it relates to our everyday lives. Our paths of research will wander through the history of food in art as well as outside of the classroom into the rich agricultural abundance of Western Michigan, the traditions of gastronomy at Ox-Bow, and our relationship to the natural landscape.

Wet Plate Photography

Jaclyn Silverman August 7-13 || 1-week PHOTO 613 001 || 1.5 credits $100 Lab Fee Using the historic and timehonored wet-plate collodion process, students will move between the studio, the community, and the natural environment to create glass plate images and photographic objects. We will explore the fundamentals of large format view camera photography while using individual mobile darkrooms for plate processing and production. This course considers the technical information, historical use, and advancement of photographic technology in comparison with contemporary conceptual use by late-20th-century and current 21st-century artists such as Helen Maureen Cooper, Joni Sternbach, and Sally Mann. Readings available for reference include Basic Collodion Technique: Ambrotype and Tintype, by Mark Osterman and France Scully Osterman, and Chemical Pictures: The Wet Plate Collodion Book, by Quinn B. Jacobson. Students will work independently, progressing from tintype positives to glass negatives and ambrotype objects. Subjects can include the still life, portraiture, installation for performance, or natural documentation of the environment. Daily evaluations and cross-classroom conversation will address technical and conceptual issues, and question historical and contemporary uses. The final product will include a suite of quarter glass plates in the student’s own style, driven by individual concepts or ideas.

Often, artmaking negotiates and absorbs varying synchronicities, producing modes of expression and idea making that can haunt us. At its most generative state, this process conjures repetition in exciting, and perhaps jarring, configurations. In this hybrid writing and studio course, participants will explore the concept of plurals and parallels and examine how voice, genre, texture, and material can have a curious effect on written and dimensional works. As a class, we will engage with the projects of interdisciplinary artists who consider this in theory and practice, such as Cauleen Smith, Cecilia Vicuña, Adrienne Rich, and others. Through a story-based inquiry project, we will discuss the ways hybridity contains possibilities, porous bodies, and entirely new forms. We will also experiment with our own works in progress to invite fresh interpretations.

A Study in Natural Dyes

Isa Rodrigues August 14-27 || 2-weeks PAPER 612 001 || 3 credits $50 Lab fee In this class, participants learn how to obtain eco-friendly color on a variety of materials. We start by learning the foundations of natural dyeing—collecting and experimenting with plant material from the prairie and using both vat and contact dyeing methods. We then build on this knowledge by using dyes from around the world, including the indigo process. Discussion topics, such as dye history, gardens and techniques, are supplemented with detailed handouts. Open to all levels.

In this course, students will use traditional and nontraditional fibrous materials and produce objects, flying artworks, and installations using a variety of processes. Combining machine assisted and hand quilting techniques with the structural considerations of kite making, students will learn fabric and paper construction methods which include piecing and applique, integrating the quilted line into the image, and will build improvisational patterning skills. Demonstrations on mapping out 2D and 3D images in fibers, piecing, applique, armature building, and additive image making will encourage the students to explore alternative and whimsical sensibilities attainable in soft sculpture. We may take inspiration from the work of Nancy Crow, Claes Oldenberg, Faith Ringgold, Rosie Lee Tompkins, David Byrne, Lee Bowery, Shinique Smith, Karen Reimer, Kimsooja, Aram Han Sifuentes, Sanford Biggers, Japanese Boro, Korean Jogakbo, and the Tristan Quilt. Screenings may include True Stories (1986), Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt (1989), and readings may include “Knitting, Weaving, Embroidery, and Quilting as Subversive Aesthetic Strategies: On Feminist Interventions in Art, Fashion, and Philosophy” (Michna 2020), “Quilting Across Prison Walls: Craftwork, Social Practice, and Radical Empathy” (Talwar, Wallis 2020). Students will conceive and construct original fiber works in response to assignments that focus on the expressive, personal, and comical possibilities of these materials, including constructing a kite-like artwork which will be part of a group performance and flying session in Ox-Bow's meadow and finishing a quilted piece that makes a statement. Using their quilting, patterning, and sculptural skills students will be encouraged to make a wearable item for Ox-Bow's Friday Night Costume Party. The class will culminate in a final group presentation.

Graduate Projects

James English Leary August 14-27 || 2-weeks MFA 6009 001 || 3 credits In this intensive, an intimate group of currently enrolled MFA students have the opportunity to independently study at Ox-Bow. Students will have dedicated studio space to work on projects of their design, either in response to the specific environment of Ox-Bow or to prepare for their thesis shows. Faculty will assume a mentorship role and assist the candidates in emphasizing their voice. Faculty will lead group conversations, critique, presentations, and other activities so as to encourage the rapid growth and connection amongst the graduates. Faculty will prepare a reader which will supplement the graduate’s time at Ox-Bow and group conversations, and host regular one-on-one studio visits. This course will culminate in an open studio event, welcoming the entire Ox-Bow community.

I'm always excited to be at Ox-Bow in person and bask in the landscape, pace, and camaraderie of the community!! There's nothing quite like it! And I'm excited about this new class with Vincent as I've oddly enough never taught an inflatables-specific class before! - Claire Ashley, faculty of Inflatables: Paint

Skins during 3-week intensive

Inflatables: Paint Skins

Claire Ashley & Vincent Tiley July 15 – August 6 PAINTING 667 001 || $50 Lab Fee What’s up with inflatables as an art form? In this class, participants will explore how the skin of an inflatable may be used as a surface for prints, paint, and other marks. We will harness the kinetic and time-based elements of making inflatable objects and consider contextual applications, conceptual thinking, and the expanded field of painting strategies related to the inflatable form. We will look at historical and design precedents which may include Paul McCarthy, Yayoi Kusama, and Seaborg Latex. Readings and screenings may include Lightness by Italo Calvino, Philip Roth’s The Breast, Chapter One, and Albert Lamorisse’s Le Ballon Rouge. Using Ox-Bow’s campus as a site for investigation and intervention, students will be asked to create an inflatable installation specific to a chosen site. Space, scale, audience participation, technical concerns, and other relationships between the site and the inflatable should be carefully considered and demonstrated.

Glass Transformations: Mold Making in the Hot Shop

Victoria Ahmadizadeh-Melendez July 15 – August 6 GLASS 641 001 || $300 Lab Fee In this class, students will use molds to create detailed and specific sculptural glass pieces. Reusable two-part plaster molds will allow students to transform found objects into clear or colored blown glass. Rubber molds will be used to create single-use "hot" blow molds to practice building positives for cold work, mixed media, and assemblage. We will look at mold-blown glass produced by the ancient Romans, as well as multiple contemporary artists using molds in the hot shop such as Stine Bidstrup and Thaddeus Wolfe. Students will complete sculptures with objects made using a plaster blow mold, a rubber mold, and multiple single-use hot blow molds. All experience levels are welcome.

Party As Form

Alex Chitty & Kelly Lloyd July 15 – August 6 || AHIST 462 001 Party As Form takes the history of celebration as its point of departure for a class that blends cultural theory with current experiments in curating, social practice and performance. Through a combination of readings, discussions and deployment, students will study the history, aesthetics, labor and conventions for parties from the intimate to the public, religious to the secular. Designed as a theory and practice art history class, Party As Form challenges participants to experience Ox Bow, a site for gathering, community, participation and production, through the lens of readings in sociology, cultural and art theory on ideas that critically address the event, celebration or party as the gathering, hosting and cultivating of a group. Topics include: liminality, community, formation of publics, spectacle, utopias, leisure, play and ecstasy. Class consists of a combination of reading and discussion, lectures and presentations alongside projects that anchor discussion through interpretation, conceptualization and the full design and hosting of on-site events. Students taking the course for Art History credit write critical and/or scholarly papers that locate their party, or event within the context of contemporary art and art history. Student taking the course for Sculpture will be required to design, fabricate, and implement objects and scenarios that relate to the directives of the course. Party forms may include: weddings, raves, galas, Cinco de Mayo, parades, tea parties, debutante balls, masquerades, bar mitzvahs, Mardi Gras, New Years Eve, Chinese New Year, 4th of July, Bastille Day, Burning Man, sleepovers and more. NOTE: SAIC students must have already taken Art History 1001 & 1002 in order to enroll in this course.

Clay Makerspace

Ling Chun July 15 – August 6 CER 657 001 || $200 Lab Fee This course provides students of all levels with the opportunity to work on their own projects and to improve their ceramics skills. Students will have access to all materials in the Ceramic Studio, and can choose from a variety of firing options, including the electric kiln, gas kiln, or raku. Demonstrations will include hand building, vessel creation, construction methods, proper firing methods, and encourage intermediate understanding of drying times, methods for building sound pieces, techniques for minimizing loss, and studio safety. Taking inspiration from historical movements and contemporary ceramicists, students may engage in coil and slab building, slip casting, have time on the potter’s wheel, and practice a variety of surface design techniques. Assignments are designed to build understanding of each method, and students will conceive projects that reflect their interests. Instructors will be available to help facilitate individual, collaborative, and interdisciplinary projects.

Inflating Steel: ThermoPneumatic-Hyper-Forming

Jessee Rose Crane & Mike Rossi July 15 – August 6 SCULP 674 001 || $200 Lab Fee In this class, students will be led through the wild process of inflating welded steel structures. Sheet steel armatures will be welded, put into a forge and heated until bright orange, then inflated with compressed air. Students will work in an improvisatory mode, rapidly iterating many pieces over the session. Studio work will be augmented by lectures, discussions, and critique that support discovery and play within the studio and this largely untapped process. We will look at the work of American blacksmith Elizabeth Brim and Polish designer Oskar Zieta and pull inspiration from the polygonal geometries of indie video game design as well as the palette of Brutalist architecture. The culminating assignment in this course will invite students to design and create a steel inflatable that will be safely installed on the surface of Ox-Bow's Lagoon. Thoughtfulness, intent, and context will be emphasized. This class is beginner-friendly, and will serve as an introduction to metal fabrication and finishing.

Did you know... Burials at Ox-Bow are a long-held tradition. Each year at the end of the summer season, the entire staff digs a hole the depth of the shortest person on campus. Staff are invited to reflect on the season and to place an object, memory, or memento in the hole. Buried items over the years include bits of favorite costumes, scobies, and sealed letters—to oneself, or to the experience.

Meet Our Faculty "BLT [Black Lunch Table] has inspired the development of our courses taught independently, and we've also hosted events at our institutions, involving our students, other teachers, librarians, and community members. Ox-Bow will be unique in that the place itself is an archive... and is constantly changing. We're curious about what gets recorded, how it's documented, and who those histories are told by + shared with. All of this is relevant to BLT." - Jina Valentine, faculty of The Living Archive during session 2 co-taught with Heather Hart

His works are included in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art; Studio Museum in Harlem; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

JIHA MOON’s gestural paintings, mixed media, and ceramic sculpture explore fluid identities and the global movement of people and their cultures. She says, “I am a cartographer of cultures and an icon maker in my lucid worlds.” She is taking cues from wide ranges of history of Eastern and Western art, colors and designs from popular culture, Korean temple paintings and folk art, internet emoticons and icons, fruit stickers and labels of products from all over the place. She often teases and changes these lexicons so that they are hard to identify yet stay in a familiar zone. Moon is from DaeGu, Korea and lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. She received her MFA from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Her works have been acquired by Asia Society, New York; High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia The Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC; Smithsonian Institute, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.

Life at Ox-Bow Frederick Fursman

Frederick Fursman and Walter Clute, two faculty members from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, founded Ox-Bow in 1910. Each summer, artists, students, and educators gather along the lagoon in beautiful Saugatuck, Michigan, located two and a half hours from Chicago. With programs that cater to degree-seeking students, professional artists, and those new to the field, OxBow is a protected place where creative processes break down, reform, and mature. At Ox-Bow, we encourage you to experiment, take risks, be playful, and trust your instincts; to engage faculty and fellow students during course time and in our public spaces; to remain open to new experiences and contribute your unique perspective to our vital and historic community. During any given week, you will find: • Students taking immersive classes • Faculty from all over the world • Renowned visiting artists, curators, and scholars • Staff who are all working artists and have active studio practices

Sauga-what? What, who, where is Saugatuck?

Saugatuck is nestled along Lake Michigan and the Kalamazoo River and is defined by rolling dunes and lush country sides. Saugatuck is home to a small number of year round residents but is a prime summer getaway as the town comes to life in the warmer months.
