Tim Rollins and Kids of Survival (K.O.S.) have become an exemplar of the
collaborative art practice. In 1981, artist Tim Rollins began teaching art
classes in the New York City public schools to students categorized as being "learning-disabled." Working with a group of primarily Latino students in
the South Bronx, Rollins emphasized literacy. A central premise is that all
artwork would derive from a text. Choosing books with themes that spoke to
adolescents and their struggles, they developed images to enlarge their
understanding and the relationship of the text to their own lives.
Participating artists: Tim Rollins and K.O.S.
