I was delighted to have checked out out a recent screening in New York of Aaron Rose and Joshua Leonard's Beautiful Losers last Thursday at the IFC center.

It is both a history and an insight into the artists from Rose's Alleged Gallery, a small NYC storefront gallery that began in the early nineties and was known for its reputation of being on the forefront of a new wave of artists emerging from street, punk rock, graffiti, and skate culture.

The film includes artists Aaron Rose, Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, Ed Templeton, Geoff McFetridge, Harmony Korine, Jo Jackson, Margaret Killgallen, Mike Mills, Deanna Templeton, Stephen Powers, Thomas Campbell, and Shepard Fairey. You can see/read more in the Beautiful Losers book.



Rose commented at the AIGA Small Talks Series in New York last March, answering some interesting questions from the audience.
