Artist in Residence:
Team Macho in NYC
By Team Macho
Team Macho is having our first ever solo show in New York this weekend at Giant Robot NY. We are really excited for it. Tell your friends to come and say hi to us because we have no friends there. The show will be a mixture of new works and our recently produced, limited run, giclee prints of some of our favorites. Hope to see you all there! Long Time Listener, First Time Caller: The Art of Team Macho September 19 – October 14, 2009 Reception: Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. Giant Robot is proud to host Long Time Listener, First Time Caller, an art show featuring new work by Team Macho. Team Macho is a collaborative illustration and fine art effort composed of Lauchie Reid, Chris Buchan, Nicholas Aoki, Jacob Whibley, and Stephen Appleby-Barr. The Toronto-based group uses all media (excepting digital), and its work crosses a multitude of boundaries in terms of conception and application. Pieces are rarely pre-planned, and only take form through the artists seeing each other at work. The end results are always surprising, witty, and pleasing in unexpected ways. Lately, Team Macho has been working toward a more finished look, with effort being put toward older modes of painting such as oils and airbrushing. Long Time Listener, First Time Caller will feature new work with the focus, as always, being to explore the collaborative process, as well as a number of classic prints. A reception for Team Macho will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, September 19. Come and see us if you are a crafty person in New York! love, Team Macho
