The students participating in the program create images inspired by various texts, usually classics of western literature, creating paintings or drawings directly onto the text. The results are a collaborative mural-sized work of art. Today, Rollins teaches workshops across the country. On Thursday, Nov. 7, Fayerweather Gallery will open “After,” an exhibition of works on paper by Robbins and KOS. The works are the result of Rollins’ Memphis, Tennessee workshops that focused on Ovid’s “Metamorphoses.” Rollins will give a lecture at 5 p.m. in Campbell Hall followed by an opening reception in Fayerweather Gallery, 6 to 7:30 p.m. The exhibit, organized by U.Va.’s Artsboard, kicks off a year and a half residency for Rollins that includes a seminar, lectures and several workshops with area public school students. These workshops will focus on Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night Dream.” The final segment of the residency will be an exhibition of the collaborative results of these workshops at the University Art Museum in the fall 2003.
