| Orange County Museum of Art presents Beautiful Losers |
February 6, 2005 - May 8, 2005
Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art and Street Culture is a first of its kind exhibition of art and design celebrating the extraordinary creative production and cultural influence of youth cultures. Skateboarding, graffiti, and punk have not only affected fashion, music, literature, and film, they have inspired a generation of young artists who identify with the iconoclastic lifestyle and counter-culture stance of these creative forces born from the street. In addition to including works in all media by more than 50 artists, Beautiful Losers includes music, album covers, skateboards, and “zines” that reveal the spirit and vitality of street culture and its expanding influence.
The unifying traits of these young artists, whose styles and distribution channels still remain largely outside of the art world, include an interest in pop culture iconography, a sense of the absurd, and a strong do-it-yourself attitude. Beautiful Losers traces the early influences on this new generation of artists, filmmakers, and designers, and explores the broader cultural trends that inform their work.
Beautiful Losers at Orange Lounge, South Coast Plaza
