Contemporary Art and Street culture
Beatuful Losers in Milan is the first step outside USA.
After several shows in Cincinnati, San Francisco and Baltimora.
It features works from artists who partecipate in the
street culture, such as skateboarding, graffiti, punk
and hip hop subcultures. The works featured include installations,
paintings, sculptures, photography, film, video and design.
The exhibition is presented in five sections. Roots and
Influences examines the work of cultural producers who
have had direct influence on the development of the generation
of artists and designers that is the principal focus of
the exhibition. This section includes examples of the
collaborative projects of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy
Warhol; paintings, drawings, and photographs by Neil Blender,
Henry Chalfant, Larry Clark, R. Crumb, Glen E. Friedman,
Futura, Keith Haring, Ari Marcopoulos, Raymond Pettibon,
Pushead, and Craig Stecyk; and the hand-painted skateboards
of Dogtown’s Wes Humpston.
The core of the exhibition showcases the recent multi-media
art of Thomas Campbell, Cynthia Connolly, Brian Donnelly
(KAWS), Cheryl Dunn, Shepard Fairey, Phil Frost, Mark
Gonzales, Evan Hecox, Jo Jackson, Todd James, James Jarvis,
Andy Jenkins, Chris Johanson, Spike Jonze, Margaret Kilgallen,
Harmony Korine, Geoff McFetridge, Barry McGee, Ryan McGinley,
Ryan McGinness, Mike Mills, Steve Powers, Terry Richardson,
Clare Rojas, Ed Templeton, Romon Yang, and Tobin Yelland.
Tommy Guerrero, a former professional skateboarder, turned
his attention to music in the last decade, producing four
solo albums and numerous projects for other musicians.
Working with samples of popular music relevant to these
subcultures, Guerrero created a Soundscape that enhances
the exhibition environment.
The exhibition also features a wide selection of Ephemera
and Limited Editions created by the artists in Beautiful
Losers, as well as other artists and designers in their
milieu. This section includes album covers, shoes, prints,
skateboards, toys, and zines.
Finally, an extensive program of related contemporary
and historical Film and Video will is screened in various
places throughout the installation.
