Beautiful Losers Film – Pt 1
Beautiful Loosers is a film about a group of artists who work and exhibit in a non conventional way. They are very much focused on the underground scene, which was commonplace in the 1990’s. I found it difficult to get to the ‘deeper meaning’ of this film. Although the artists were actively saying that they were trying to rebel from everything that was conventional, they were still trying to fit in somewhere in the art world. They didn’t seem to be making art for any material purpose but just wanted to show what they were doing (non conventional), yet they chose to do this by setting up their own art galleries (conventional). If they were truly trying to rebel then they could of thought of a more anarchist way of showing their art, such as the graffiti artist Banksy.
Working on ....
Uni:
We’ve just had a new module launch named Table for a Revolution. The brief sounds interesting and I’m excited to get started. For the brief we have to set a table with 8 place settings with a revolution theme. The group discussed our ideas, but inspired by the Finishing Touch exhibition in Liverpool we decided to go with the emancipation of women. We are following the time line of the exhibition, so have each taken an era to research and draw inspiration from.
Personal:
A small group of us have booked a stall space in a local craft fair, so I’m beginning to think of idea’s for jewellery pieces that can be sold there.
