Tomorow night at the Silk Haus (135 Keefer Street - at Columbia) is "It's All Around You" presented by Red Assembly. This is a special launch of the new soft cover edition of Beautiful Losers with editor Christian Strike. Now Beautiful Losers is a movement in contemporary art and culture that has its roots back in the early 1990s that tooks its inspiration from skating, punk, graffiti and hip-hop.

7 pm: Book Signing and Media Screening. Limited copies of the book are available for sale ($50).
9 pm: Public Opening ($10) Selected works for sale upon request.

In addition to the book launch there will be some installations from some of the Beautiful Losers - Barry McGee who does some impressive grafiti style artwork, Rostarr who does some out of this world street flavored pieces, and even more cool work from Clare Rojas. It is shaping up to be a pretty decent night of art, drinks, and all that is associated with the sreet scene. This is especially true if you want a little peak into the basis of some the most influential art and design trends.

We'll fill you in with the details and review, Sunday.
