Matthew Tully Dugan: Caviar, Vampires, and Warhol

Welcome to season 4 of the Art Career. We start the season on a beautiful fall day in a kitchen in NYC’s Chinatown. Before we sit down for our interview, artist Mathew Tully Dugan cooks the most delicious small plate for my editor Ben and myself; Thomas Keller’s potato pavé with whipped roasted bone marrow, salt cured egg yolk, hackleback caviar and wasabi microgreens. A most delicious way to launch Season 4! 

Matthew Tully Dugan (b. 1986) Rochester, NY born and NYC based multidisciplinary artist. Dugan's interests span celebrity, psychology, pop iconography, privacy, and fanaticism. Dugan often employs promotional, social, and found imagery in a practice motivated by digital media’s physical and emotional divide. His paintings, sculptures, installations, texts, and curatorial projects collapse the popular and the subcultural, the collective and the personal, as a means of processing contemporary conditions and their impact on the psyche. 
Recent exhibitions include solo shows at Will Shott, NY (2023), 56 Henry, New York (2022), Loveclub, NY (2021), Fierman, New York, NY (2018) as well as a public works in collaboration with Half Gallery, NY (2023). Dugan also runs a curatorial program, Art Death with yearly exhibitions in Miami Beach.

Tully's upcoming exhibition, "Inferno", will open at Lomex's new Walker Street project space this Halloween.  It will be up until November 5th.
