Kitschy, Gay, and Over in a Second.

My favourite (Toronto) art collective, Team Macho is showing a new exhibit of paintings, drawings, and collage at Magic Pony from September 25th to October 26th. Opening reception with the artists in attendance will be held September 25th, 7-10pm.

According to Magic Pony,

“Kitschy, Gay, and Over in a Second resurrects beloved subjects with an expanded repertoire of oil, airbrush, resin, collage, lightboxes and typewriter art. Witty vignettes, hilariously inappropriate juxtapositions, inside jokes, détourned flea-market landscapes and subverted narratives collide. Dadaist nonsense, science fantasy, parallel universes, escape artistry, alchemic texts, homoerotic neon wizards, vintage catalogues and books on tape variously provide inspiration. Tragic mistakes are revisited with the return of creations Whiskeyboot and Leunbre. Lush treatments and a refined approach to materials provide insight into Team Macho’s respect and affection for the seemingly absurd, perverse and tasteless worlds they create.”

Studio Gallery also has a few awesome (and affordable) limited edition prints by Team Macho members Stephen Appleby-Barr and Lauchie Reid. Give me a shout if you want to see them.
