Tim Rollins (b. 1955, Pittsfield, Maine) began teaching art in a South Bronx public school in 1981. His lessons incorporated creative work with reading and writing lessons for educationally disadvantaged or emotionally ‘at risk’ students...In a process they called ‘jammin’, Rollins or one of the students read aloud from a selected text while the other members drew, relating the stories to their own experiences. Tim Rollins and K.O.S. (Kids of Survival) began producing works of art directly on the pages of these books, which they cut out and placed on a canvas in a grid – a technique that developed into a unique artistic signature.
