Fancy Action Now
The Art of Team Macho
8.5 x 11". 140 pages. Full colour.
Over 200 illustrations.
Published in 2007.
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.
Introduction by Paul Dallas, Dean of Illustration, Ontario College of
Art & Design and artists interview with Gary Taxali, award winning illustrator.
