Parkett no. 20

Tim Rollins was an American artist and educator known for collaborative practice that merged conceptual art with social pedagogy. Working primarily with young people from underserved communities in New York, he created large-scale paintings, installations, and performances that engaged literary texts and archival material as sites of collective meaning-making. His practice refused the separation between art-making and teaching, positioning creativity as a tool for critical consciousness and community solidarity.
