Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art and Street Culture
Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art and Street Culture is an exhibition of multi-media art and
design that explores the recent work of a diverse group of visual artists that have emerged
from aspects of street culture loosely organized around the subcultures of skateboarding,
graffiti, punk, and hip-hop in urban U.S. cities. The exhibition includes painting, sculpture,
photography, film, video and performance by thirty individuals who have emerged over the
last decade. This exhibition chronicles a 30-year span of multi-disciplinary street artists
creating a generational lineage as well as important contributors Shepard Fairey, Barry
McGee, Ryan McGinness and Clare E. Rojas. The exhibition also examines the work of
cultural producers who had a direct influence on the development of this generation of
artists, Including Jean Michel-Basquiat, Larry Clark, Keith Haring, and Andy Warhol.
Beautiful Losers was organized by the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco and
the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. Guest curated by Aaron Rose and Christian
Strike with Réne de Guzman, Thom Collins and Matt Distel.
