                Amanda Coogan is one of the most exciting 
                                  contemporary Visual Artists practicing from Dublin, 
                                  Ireland. 

                                  She is to the forefront of live, durational performance 
                                  presented in the gallery as live exhibition. Her 
                                  extraordinary work is challenging, provocative and 
                                  always visually stimulating. Her work can be seen 
                                  internationally in public galleries and private collections.

“                               'Coogan, whose work usually entails ritual, endurance and
                                  cultural iconography, is the leading practitioner of 
                                  performance in the country'. AIDAN DUNNE, The Irish 
                                  Times, Friday, September 24, 2010
