Beautiful Losers
90 min.
This documentary profiles a loose collective of artists who emerged in New York City during the '90s. Its members were guided by a strong DIY attitude (making art out of personal necessity, and at great lengths) and a shared rejection of mainstream sensibilities. Their works had a profound impact on the art world despite their lack of connections and formal arts training.
