The Beautiful Losers art movement

The idea of the Artist being a loser. Makes me think of the suffering artist, the misfit, in his own world.

This is a trailer for a film about the beautiful losers a collection of 100 atrists who talk about creativity. For myself i believe in the idea that all you need to be craetive are tools and at the moment on this course i am being introduced to these tools. Will I be a follower of this Art movement? i don't know.

This movement is DIY its about about improvisation, discovery exploration and freedom.



over the last 5 years or so there has been a fashion for the geek. eg in films spawned by napolean dynamite we identify with the geek the outsider the loser...the beautiful loser. it kida takes away the pressure to be a suffering artists you know the idea that you have to be sucidal in order to make great art. with this movement you just have to be a weirdo....
