    Alannah Farrell: Portraiture, Psyche, and the Trans Experience in a Shifting World

    The Art Career is honored to share a conversation with Alannah Farrell, recorded on November 8th, 2024, in their Chinatown apartment. Releasing this episode during Trans Awareness Week feels especially meaningful, but the importance of celebrating and uplifting trans voices extends to every day. Alannah’s perspective is a powerful reminder of the beauty, resilience, and talent within the community. Thank you, Alannah, for sharing so much with us. Farrell is a queer, trans non-binary painter who lives and works in Chinatown on the LES, New York City. Conversations around portraiture often focus on identity, gaze, style, and expression. Their paintings touch on these but further delve into how the human psyche is affected by relationships, selfhood, place, architectural spaces, gender dysphoria, existing in a changing body, and memory. They grapple with a complex tenderness, light piercing through a brooding sadness. Farrell presents queer individuals through a lens of understanding and connection, a context shielded from a society eager to erase or enact violence. Their paintings depict more than a moment; rather, time itself unfurling before our eyes—shifting light, shifting weight, the emergence of the inner world. Furthermore, Farrell paints thoughtfully and attentively from life. They describe inviting sitters into the studio as an adrenaline rush—having to work with time as a restriction and the challenge of attempting to capture what is full of life and motion into a singular image. — BL Alannah Farrell (b. 1988, Kingston, NY) is a queer painter who lives and works in New York, NY. Farrell completed their BFA at The Cooper Union, New York, NY. They have presented their work in solo and group exhibitions at Anat Egbi, Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY; Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX; Lyles and King, New York, NY; Alexander Gray Associates, New York, NY; Harper’s, New York, NY; Richard Heller Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; The Painting Center, New York, NY; Theirry Goldberg Gallery, New York, NY; and UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles, CA. Their work is in the permanent collection of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, FL. They are represented by Anat Egbi, Los Angeles. http://alannahfarrell.com https://www.alexandergray.com/exhibitions/821-alannah-farrell-erect/ https://www.instagram.com/alannah.farrell.studio/

    Nick Doyle: A Conversation in a Friendly Neighborhood Kink Bar

    On an all new episode of The Art Career, Emily sits down with artist, Nick Doyle, in his Ridgewood studio where his recent installation, Human Resources, a friendly neighbourhood kink bar, is situated until it leaves for Paris. The two have a brave and intimate conversation about sexuality, shame, and, of course, art. Nick Doyle is keenly aware of the legacy of the American notion of Manifest Destiny. Known best for sculptural wall works made from collaged denim, Doyle infiltrates the vocabulary of Americana to examine greed, excess, and toxic masculinity. Doyle uses the road trip—a pillar of American mythology—as a point of entry to his work in order to question the persistence of Rugged Individualism as the fabric of our national identity. Through a series of mechanical miniatures, theatrical scenery, and satirical prop-like denim works, the artist foregrounds the dangers of nostalgia and our evolving relationship to consumerism. Seemingly innocuous, Doyle’s imagery—vending machine, typewriter, cigarette pack—and materials—indigo and cotton—tell a story of American colonialism and consumerism, as well as explore the influence of media on global trade systems. By employing materials that hold cultural significance, the artist both reflects on and critiques social and political agendas that are often at play in contemporary life and visual culture.  https://www.nickdoyle.org https://www.perrotin.com/artists/nick_doyle/777#news https://www.instagram.com/nickdoyle333/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/human_resources._/?hl=en

    Mathew Tully Dugan: Caviar, Vampires, and Warhol

    With the Halloween season upon us, we're looking back to one of our favourite episodes recorded on a beautiful fall day in Chinatown with Mathew Tully Dugan. Before we sat down for our interview, artist Mathew Tully Dugan cooked 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. ⁠theartcareer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Matthew Tully Dugan:⁠⁠ @TULLYdeluxe⁠⁠  Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theartcareer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast host: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@emilymcelwreath_art⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music: Chase Johnson Editing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@benjamin.galloway⁠⁠

Laurie Simmons is an internationally recognized artist. Since the mid-70s, Simmons has staged scenes for her camera to create images with intensely psychological subtexts and nonlinear narratives. By the early 1980s Simmons was at the forefront of a new generation of artists, predominantly women, whose use of photography began a new dialogue in contemporary art. Her work is part of the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art and The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; the Hara Museum in Tokyo; and the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam, among others. In 2018-2019 Simmons’s retrospective Big Camera/Little Camera was presented at The Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. In 2006 she produced and directed her first film, The Music of Regret, starring Meryl Streep, Adam Guettel and the Alvin Ailey 2 Dancers. The film premiered at The Museum of Modern Art. Her feature film MY ART premiered at the 73rd Venice Film Festival and Tribeca Film festival in 2017.
