For three days leading up to the Edinburgh Art Festival, International artist Tim Rollins and his collective, Kids of Survival (K.O.S), invite young people to take part in a unique one-off art event at the Talbot Rice Gallery during July 2012.
Over two days, young people will work directly with K.O.S members Tim, Angel and Rick to finish a unique work of art based the classic adventure novel ‘Treasure Island’ by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. This work will feature in the forthcoming exhibition at the Talbot Rice Gallery.
Tim Rollins and K.O.S are an artist collective from New York who create original artworks inspired by classic novels, speeches and music. The group act as an artist team whose members are of different ages and from all types of different backgrounds.
Since the formation of K.O.S in 1981, works by the group are now part of prestigious private and public collections across the world including the Museum of Modern Art (New York); The Tate Gallery (London) and The Hirshhorn Museum of Art (Washington D.C)
Tim Rollins & K.O.S are a key highlight of this years’ Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF), the UK’s largest annual festival dedicated to visual art. The new work created in Edinburgh and based on ‘Treasure Island’ will feature prominently in the Talbot Rice Gallery exhibition.
