Before you go, brush up on the Alleged scene by watching Rose’s 2008 documentary about the gallery, Beautiful Losers, which features a young Korine. 24, Rose will unveil a show he has curated in tribute to his old place, “Now & Then: Beautiful Losers, Alleged Gallery & the 90’s Lower East Side.” It’ll feature the aforementioned artists and many others, and will take place at Bowery gallery The Hole, a sort of spiritual successor to Alleged.
