Tim Rollins and K.O.S.

(Kids of Survival)

(American, 1955-2017)

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (after Harriet Jacobs) was featured in CAM’s exhibition Unbound Narrative in 2017.

After graduate studies in art education and philosophy at New York University, Tim Rollins began teaching art for students classified as "at risk," incorporating art-making with reading and writing lessons at Intermediate School 52 in the South Bronx. Rollins told his students on that first day, "Today we are going to make art, but we are also going to make history." Together, Rollins and his students developed a collaborative strategy that combined lessons in reading and writing with the production of works of art. In a process they call "jammin’," Rollins or one of the students read aloud from the selected text while the other members drew, relating the stories to their own experiences. Their signature style was born as Rollins and K.O.S. (Kids of Survival) began producing works of art directly on the pages of these books, cut out and laid in a grid on canvas.

See Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (after Harriet Jacobs), 2015 as part of 20 Years now on view at CAM.
