Already an exhibition and book, Beautiful Losers is now a new documentary which celebrates the work and D.I.Y. ethic of a group of contemporary artists who came together in the early nineties. Directed by Aaron Rose, whose NYC storefront-sized Alleged Gallery served as the meeting ground and showcase for these artists’ work, the film focuses on personal stories around their emergence from the subcultures of skateboarding, graffiti, punk rock, and hip-hop towards mainstream pop culture. This Friday, the film makes its New York City debut at the IFC Center and tickets are available online.

The film features artists Aaron Rose, Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, Ed Templeton, Geoff McFetridge, Harmony Korine, Jo Jackson, Margaret Killgallen, Mike Mills, Deanna Templeton, Stephen “ESPO” Powers, Thomas Campbell, Shepard Fairey, and Cheryl Dunn.
