Richard Jackson Born in 1939 in Sacramento (USA). Lives and works in Sierra Madre (USA). "Painting with two balls" (1996), installation composed of a spray-painting machine and a car. This installation calls on a rudimentary, but nonetheless celebratory, technology. The work can be seen as an exemplification of Alfred Jarry's "machine for spurting paint", and also as an ironic contribution to the history of American abstract painting.
