Amanda Coogan:Yellow
A durational performance curated by Marina Abramovic

This "Tableau Vivant" features the artist dressed in a large yellow dress, continuously washing her skirt in a bucket of soap water, while a piano piece by Franz Schubert is played intermittently. The work refers to the Irish tradition of Magdalene Laundries, institutions that housed "fallen" women, where they were to give penance for their sins by working in the laundry.

Amanda Coogan's durational performances have been staged internationally at venues such as the Venice Biennale, Liverpool Biennale, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. She lives and works in Dublin and Berlin.

When Time Becomes Form is an ongoing performance series that explores and questions issues of concentration, will power, and determination, and uses the entire gallery space for up to 8 hours during each day of its presentation.
