In conjunction with A Shared Space: KAWS, Karl Wirsum, and Tomoo Gokita, the museum is presenting a three-part film series.
The 2008 film focuses on a collective group of artists who, in the 1990s, began an art movement inspired by skateboarding, graffiti, and underground music. Developing their style with almost no influence from the art world establishment, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, created a movement that transformed pop culture. Starring Shepard Fairey, OBEY founder and creator of the Barack Obama “Hope” poster; award-winning pro skater Ed Templeton; Harmony Korine, writer of the cult favorite KIDS and director of GUMMO and MISTER LONELY; and Mike Mills, director of THUMBSUCKER and designer of album covers for Beck, Beastie Boys, and Sonic Youth.
