LOS ANGELES
A shadow in a daydream
Jun 6 - 28, 2026
Opening Reception: Sat, Jun 6, 7-10 pm
It's the feeling of your body vibrating until it dissipates into nothingness, or the feeling of ancestors flowing through your body. Seeing through someone else's eyes or grasping onto your flesh. The knowing or unknowing of how much space you take up and if that space has anything to do with your physical body. It's digging your fingers into the ground and knowing that it's all the same. Looking at your reflection and feeling as absent in your own presence. The image of your journey that feels more like a dream you never had, but can feel deep in your flesh. The desire to expand. It is in the acknowledgement of the fleeting moment, that you begin to understand the infinite pulse. There is no beginning. There is no end. The artists in the show defy ideas of the body. Of the self. It's more a feeling than anything else. A self-deprivation chamber. The obliteration of the self. A relationship to all.

Matthew McGaughey (b. Phoenix, AZ) is an interdisciplinary artist working in sculpture, installation, performance, and video. Before turning to visual art, he spent fourteen years as a composer in Los Angeles writing music for reality television, an experience that became the foundation for a practice preoccupied with mediated surfaces, fabricated desire, and the copy that replaces the original without anyone noticing. He holds an MFA in Art from Carnegie Mellon University. Exhibitions include a solo presentation at Reisig and Taylor Contemporary, Los Angeles in 2025, and group exhibitions at Honor Fraser Gallery and Departure Lounge, Los Angeles, and Miller ICA, Pittsburgh. His ongoing project Renovation Game pushes into the seams of HGTV's Fixer Upper and the Magnolia empire it spawned, examining how the renovation fantasy packages aspiration, gender performance, and the American Dream into a seamless and consumable image. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
