Label text from “The Art of Collecting: Contemporary Prints from the Risa Gerrig Collection,” September 10 – October 12, 2014:
Rollins and K.O.S (Kids of Survival) are a collaborative group based in the South Bronx that incorporate literary works into their artistic oeuvre. Their artwork draws from both the content and the actual physical pages of books. This piece, inspired by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes’ comedy The Frogs, incorporates amphibian-like forms that squiggle and bounce across pages of the text. The rounded figures in bold hues of blue, green, and yellow lead the viewer’s eye to dance in the space between the text and images. - Shelby Miner (B.A. ’15)
