JAMES TULLY

"The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist.
We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone
who has experienced the tragic. In our society this
person is much more important than anything
he might create."
- David Mamet



James Tully was born in Denver, Colorado, and now lives and works in New York City. His education includes bachelor degrees in Fine Art (studio program) and English Literature from Georgetown University, Washington, DC. He was the recipient of the Kreeger Prize in printmaking.

Tully exhibited a video work at The Whitney Museum in New York entitled 'Stylized Banalities', 1997-98, sponsored by Bloomberg Television.

In 1999 he participated in the seminal group show 'Generation Z' at PS1/MoMA in New York. This work was a ten-foot-tall robot built as a video-sculptural collaboration between Tully and the infamous artist Alfredo Martinez. Tully's video 'How Soon Is Now' blasted from the video screen comprising the head of the robot.

Technology, in all its triumphs and pitfalls, serves as an enduring fascination for Tully, and is the subtext of much of his work.

Throughout a number of other shows, screenings, and installations in New York and the Northeast U.S., Tully has been known particularly for his unique blending of the moving image of film and video with the painted 'stills' he exhibits often in the same gallery or installation. The transient images of film and video counter posed with the enduring stills serve as the basic dialogue of his process, in turn highlighting Tully's themes of the consciousness of the artist versus his product, and the collective consciousness versus the permanent record of society. The moving image in Tully's work acts as a filter through which complex ideas, chronologies, and images are processed into simpler and more emblematic works.
