Our friends atBeautiful/Decay are screening art-based films all month long at the new Space 15Twenty, in Los Angeles . This week's installment is artist/director Julian Schnabel's 1996 film Basquiat, about graffiti artist turned neo-expressionist painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat rose to prominence in the early 80s, and the film explores his celebrity and star status in the otherwise pretentious New York art scene. The movie introduced us to the talents of Jeffrey Wright and also stars David Bowie, Benicio Del Toro, Dennis Hopper and Courtney Love.
The film is being shown on a large outdoor screen behind the gallery. Seating is limited so get there on time. Check out the trailer below.

Sour Harvest was launched in the winter of 2004 as a means to better showcase the emerging Los Angeles new contemporary art scene. We relaunched the site in a blog based format during the winter of 2007/2008 to allow for easier and more frequent updates. Features include our widely popular suggested show listings for the Los Angeles area (that are posted here and also sent out via e-mail on a weekly basis - sign up below), as well as regular show reviews, previews, interviews with our artists, and general updates on all the happenings at Thinkspace Gallery and our scene as a whole.
Established in November of 2005, Thinkspace exists as a catalyst for the ever expanding new contemporary art movement that is exploding forth from the streets and art schools the world over. We are here to help represent this new generation of artists, to provide them that home base and to aid them in building the right awareness and collector base necessary for long-term growth.
