This exhibition features Tim Rollins + K.O.S.’s interpretation of
Charles
Darwin’s pivotal book, The Origin of Species. Tim Rollins, teacher and
conceptual artist, began instructing special education teenagers in the
South
Bronx in the early 1980s. He developed an approach where the students, who
named
themselves K.O.S. (Kids of Survival), produced works of art based upon
classic
literature. Over the course of nearly three decades, they have created
artwork
based upon such classics as Franz Kafka's Amerika, Lewis Carroll's Alice in
Wonderland, George Orwell's Animal Farm, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible
Man, and
The Autobiography of Malcolm X. They have exhibited extensively worldwide
and
their work is in prestigious collections including the Museum of Modern Art
in
New York City, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington,
D.C.,
and the Tate Modern in London.
