New York, January 18, 2010—The New York Center for Art and Media Studies (NYCAMS) is pleased to announce Everyone is Welcome: A K.O.S. Panel Discussion. This panel will be held on April 8th 2010, from 7:30 to 8:30pm at The New York Center for Art and Media Studies. This panel is being organized in conjunction with the exhibition Everyone is Welcome: A K.O.S. Showcase, February 19th-April 9th, 2010. The exhibition features the work of K.O.S. artists Angel Abreu, Wesley Martin Berg, Robert Branch, Daniel Bocatto, Daniel Castillo, Ala Ebtekar, George Garces, Nelson Ricardo Savinon, Steven Vega, Benjamin Volta, and Bryce Zackery.

Since 1981, members of K.O.S. have collaborated with artist and educator Tim Rollins. Their collaboratively produced art is in the permanent collection of more than eighty museums and has been the subject of more than one hundred solo exhibitions. The art of Tim Rollins and K.O.S. is currently on view a traveling retrospective, organized by the Tang Museum, at the Frye Art Museum. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog published by MIT Press.

Over the past three decades, many members of K.O.S. have continued to produce and exhibit independently created art. The remarkable quality and diversity of this work disproves any suggestion that there is a “K.O.S.-style.” Everyone is Welcome: A K.O.S. Showcase is the first exhibition devoted exclusively to the work of current and former members of K.O.S.
