Performance by Amanda Coogan

Date: Saturday 17 May 2025

Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Location: Beuys Exhibition Space, Ulster Museum

Join the audience at the Ulster Museum for a unique experience as Irish artist Amanda Coogan takes to the BEUYS gallery for a captivating performance. Coogan’s work is influenced by her early life, having grown up in a household where Irish sign language was her first language, as her parents were deaf. This connection continues to resonate throughout her artistic practice.

Coogan, who graduated from the National College of Art and Design in 1998, is known for her live exhibitions that engage audiences through powerful, embodied expressions of time and space. She has been featured in major international art events, including the Venice Biennale in 2003 and the Liverpool Biennial in 2004, and received the prestigious Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize in 2004.

Coogan's film Gnawing on the Bones - Reflections on Beuys (2022), is also featured as part of the Beuys exhibition (kindly on loan from the artist).
