Beautiful Losers at Monster Children

When I was in Sydney last month I had the pleasure of attending a screening of the film "Beautiful Losers" organised by Monster Children gallery. Aaron Rose spoke about the exhibition and the film.

This is primarily a film about a 2004 Graffiti exhibition and the artists participating.

The exhibition will be visiting the Netherlands in "the fall".

Aaron Rose is an artist, writer and independent curator currently living in Los Angeles. For ten years (1992-2002) he worked as owner/director of the highly influential Alleged Gallery in New York. The gallery was responsible for breaking the careers of many visual artists who are now considered the leading edge of contemporary art.

He is co-curator of the large-scale museum exhibition titled “Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art & Street Culture” which opened in March 2004 at Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and has been touring America and Europe since.
