Beautiful Losers is a group art show curated by Aaron Rose of New York’s Alleged Gallery and Christian Strike of Iconoclast Editions. It debuted in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2004 and has since trotted to numerous cities around the globe. The featured artists–including Thomas Campbell, Cheryl Dunn, Shepard Fairey, Jo Jackson, Chris Johanson, Margaret Kilgallen, Harmony Korine, Geoff McFetridge, Barry McGee, Mike Mills, Steven “Espo” Powers, Aaron Rose, Ed Templeton and numerous others–are tied together by the duel influences of skateboarding and street art. In early 2005, the show made a four-month stop at the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, California.
