Tulsa artist offering Bedlam scavenger hunt Saturday in Norman
Duane Fernandez
Tulsa artist Duane Fernandez created this jewelry box featuring a portrait of OU football coach Bob Stoops, which will be hidden during Saturday’s Bedlam game in Norman.
Tulsa artist Duane Fernandez is continuing his international art scavenger hunt project “SEEK” Saturday in Norman during the Bedlam football game.
The project involves hiding an artwork, along with an expensive jewelry piece from Spexton jewelers, somewhere on the University of Oklahoma campus. There will be clues to the prize’s whereabouts on www.duanefernandez.com, as well as on his Twitter account, www.twitter.com/duanefernandez.
For this particular outing, the hidden art piece is a jewelry box featuring Fernandez’s custom painting of University of Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops. The Bedlam game between OU and the Oklahoma State University Cowboys kicks off at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in Norman.
For his “SEEK” project, Fernandez, who has an art studio in downtown Tulsa called the Left Field Project, will be hiding 23 wooden jewelry boxes around the world in the next year. Each wooden jewelry box is hand-painted by Fernandez and features a portrait of an international icon. Among the celebrities featured on his boxes are Elton John, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, The Dave Matthews Band, Willie Nelson, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift.
Each box will contain a handmade bracelet/cuff made specifically for this project by Spexton jewelers. Each box also will contain a questionnaire; Fernandez will ask each person that finds a box to take part in a “random and unique experience.” Left Field Project will publish the experience in a limited-edition magazine once the project is complete.
In addition, each box will have a personal message for the lucky individual who happens to track it down.
The purpose of the project is to have fun, be creative and find art. The random nature of the project will unite a group of people from around the world who otherwise would never have met, according to a news release.
