Trained in both social sciences and literary studies, he has always worked within architecture, conducting PhD studies in art history at Aarhus University, where he later held a position as Assistant Professor before joining the University of Copenhagen as Associate Professor of Art History. Across his career, Oxvig has been preoccupied with the fertile exchange between art and science – how the one can think and extend the other without reducing difference. This interest has informed his long-standing work in shaping a research-based PhD degree within an artistic institution. He has received several national research grants, including the international project What Images Do. His current research reconsiders architecture’s foundational concepts – among them style – under a planetary condition, asking how composition, attention, and coexistence might become shared modes of thought and practice.
