  • Beautiful Losers Set For New York With Nike

    Having appreciated this documentary phenoma Beautiful Loosers personally I can add Aaron Rose has masterminded something of great distinction that will be remembered for a long time. With the film set to debut in NYC on August 8 the film that dives into artists like Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Jo Jackson, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, Stephen Powers, Geoff McFetridge, Thomas Campbell and Ed Templeton to name a few this exhibition and film will also feature workshops presented by Nike Sportswear at the IFC Centre.

    "The work created in each location will form a continually evolving exhibition, which will be open to the public to view. To further commemorate the film’s release, Nike’s Sportswear’s Jesse Levya has also created a series of 22 Beautiful Losers Dunks emblazoned with iconic stills from the movie using the company’s new high-resolution digital printing process. Says Aaron Rose of the project, “We went back to the documentary and pulled frame stills of what we felt were key moments in the narrative. We used these moments to tell the Beautiful Losers story using the shoes as a medium, with the end result being a collection of works of art.” Viewed together, the shoes reflect the overall narrative of the film, and after being exhibited at the NYC and LA “Make Something!” workshops, two sets of the shoes will be auctioned off with proceeds donated to the Children’s Aid Society." Making for another exceptional event come release, epic.
