New from Magic Pony
FANCY ACTION NOW
THE ART OF TEAM MACHO
|
Magic Pony is pleased to present
a new book with Canadian art collective Team Macho. Fancy
Action Now documents the prolific works of Team Macho
over the past three years. Team Macho express a unique attitude toward
collaboration, a highly competitive spirit where the very nature of
their alliance revolves around thwarting and subverting each other’s
contributions.
With a penchant for humble, unconventional materials like dollar-store
watercolours and thrift-shop frames, Team Macho’s work conveys
a decidedly unorthodox and individual approach. Comprised of members
Nicholas Aoki, G. Stephen Appleby Barr, Christopher Buchan, Lauchie
Reid, and Jacob Whibley, Team Macho occupy a large studio in Toronto,
where their collective efforts are focused on developing an artmaking
practice that spans the worlds of both fine art and illustration.
Exploring key elements in their artistic process - camaraderie, geeky
bravado, the creation of a personal culture laden with absurdity,
inside jokes, sabotage, fluorescence, raquetry, and most importantly,
fanciness, Fancy Action Now unleashes Team
Macho’s true pansy awesomeness.
