 Rollins launched the Art and Knowledge workshop\, a collaboration with a s
 tudent group called Kids of Survival (K.O.S.)\, which grew out of an art c
 lass he taught in a South Bronx public school. Rollins and the students cr
 eate large works inspired by canonical texts that relate directly to socio
 political issues of the times\, as exemplified by The Animal Farm: P. W. B
 otha 1 (1984&ndash\;87)\, currently on view in the first-floor gallery of 
 the Sackler Museum. Rollins will talk about this and recent work\, focusin
 g on the melding of art and social engagement.\n\nArtisTalk is a new six-p
 art series of lectures by and conversations with some of today's most thou
 ght-provoking artists. Artistic practice is an essential form of intellect
 ual inquiry and cultural critique. Contemporary artists have much to say a
 nd much to teach about the complex world in which we live.\n\nThe fall ser
 ies will feature artists whose work resonates with new installations in th
 e Sackler Museum: the recently refreshed contemporary galleries in the ong
 oing exhibition Re-View and the special exhibition Prints and the Pursuit 
 of Knowledge in Early Modern Europe\, on view September 6&ndash\;December 
 10\, 2011.\n\nFree admission. Limited complimentary parking at Broadway Ga
 rage\, 7 Felton Street.\n\nThis series was made possible in part by genero
 us support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer Jr. Fund for M
 odern and Contemporary Art\, Harvard Art Museums.\n\nThe M. Victor Leventr
 itt Fund was established through the generosity of the wife\, children\, a
 nd friends of the late M. Victor Leventritt\, Harvard Class of 1935. The p
 urpose of the fund is to present outstanding scholars of the history and t
 heory of art to the Harvard and Greater Boston communities.\n\nStart time:
