Now available as a souvenir of canada and the alberta praires, buy a limited edition piece of shotgun art from John Greg Ball and Shoko Cesar’s violent Art collaboration via Motherbrand’s Souvenir shop in Toronto. Each unique piece of art is complete with both artist’s signature, and comes with its own custom “blast pattern”.
Northface- By John Greg Ball (Oil and acrylic paint on canvas)
Once and a while I get the opportunity to work with really talented people that enjoy “playing around” like a bunch of kids and making interesting work- just for fun.
On April 24th 2004 was such an occasion. Working with Intern Architect- Shafraaz Kaba, and Toronto Artist- Hri Neil we turned one of my prototype plywood chairs into a short film. We cleared an Edmonton parking lot, poured gas on the chair, and lit it on fire. To add some richness and depth, we projected scenes of the all-familiar Wal-mart parking lot to the building behind. We captured some stunning images of our film, and it was unveiled at the FAVA/MADE Super 8 screening party Saturday, April 24, 2004 in Edmonton, Alberta. As a side note, there was a lot of satisfaction in seeing an unsuccessful prototype under 15 feet of flames!
