Small Talk No. 6: Aaron Rose

CREATIVE/ADDICTS
Exclusive screening of documentary film “Beautiful Losers” (84 mins) with director Aaron Rose

http://www.beautifullosers.com/

In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of like-minded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip-hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected their lifestyles, and became part of the most influential cultural movement of our generation. Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind this youthful creative ethos.

Aaron Rose is an artist, writer, and curator in Los Angeles. From 1992 until 2002 he was owner and director of the highly influential Alleged Gallery in New York. Since then, Aaron has been working as a freelance curator, choosing artists for the Undefeated Billboard Project in Los Angeles in conjunction with Nike, featuring artists such as Dennis Hopper and Raymond Pettibon. He is co-curator of a large-scale museum exhibition titled “Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art & Street Culture” which opened in March 2004 at Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and toured the world through 2007. Aaron is co-editor of ANP Quarterly, a free magazine, and organizes smaller exhibitions in galleries and museums worldwide.

Extra large ideas find an intimate home in a formal setting. Small Talks at Bumble and bumble are opportunities to explore a panoply of visual ephemera, flights of fancy and literal brilliance.
