Beautiful Losers a documentary directed by Aaron Rose

'In the early 1990's a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the "establishment" art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture.'

Prostrate 2005 "A proposal for an installation: a carpet containing individual 'prayer mats' of chicken wishbones, each made to standard prayer-mat dimensions; a meeting of the religious and the pagan, the bent form of the wishbone evoking the prostrations of the supplicant." -KM
