As a teenager who, during the late 1990’s, spent every last dollar on vinyl records and every waking moment on a skateboard, I was extremely excited to learn the Walker was screening Aaron Rose’s film Beautiful Losers on May 2!
The event is in conjunction with an artist lecture by Chris Johanson and Jo Jackson at the Walker on Thursday May 1st, and with their exhibition Conclusions on Boundaries at the ART OF THIS GALLERY opening May 3rd. This nostalgic, yet contemporary film celebrates a cultural movement rooted in a DIY aesthetic that documents a bi-coastal group of like-minded artists who found common ground in New York City during the early 1990’s. Featuring interviews with Ed Templeton, Barry McGee, Mike Mills, Jo Jackson, Chris Johanson, Stephen Powers and the always inspiring Harmony Korine among many others, I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of amazing footage from the late Margaret Kilgallen.
There will be two screenings on May 2: one at 7:00 pm and one at 9:30 pm.
Also, there is a Q&A with director Aaron Rose following the first screening.
Further details and ticket information can be found on the Walker Calendar.
