White Alice II

“‘Curiouser and curiouser!’ cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).” — Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 2, The Pool of Tears

I was most curious about this piece new piece at the Milwaukee Art Museum. White Alice II by Timothy Rollins and KOS, an offest lithograph with silkscreen and collage, hand-painted with gesso. Beginning in 1981, Tim Rollins collaborated with a group of young people he called the Kids of Survival, originally comprised of middle school students from the South Bronx school where Rollins was a teacher. Since then, a number of students of various ages have contributed to the work which is often inspired by literary texts and current events.
