COLLABORATION AND SPECIFICITY

Andrew Duggan

An Irish artist whose lens based works, installations, performances and projects explore the intersections between body, myth and place and the modes of presentation in the public sphere.

His work is concerned with contested, constructed and imagined spaces and trace histories. At the heart of his work is the use of body, material and gesture as way of mediating these ideas.

His work is supported by Ealain na Gaeltachta/Arts Council of Ireland and Culture Ireland and has the support of The Irish Museum of Modern Art, The National Gallery of Art, The Hugh Lane Gallery.

“Duggan walks the fine line between definitions.”-Karlyn De Jongh

Presenting work primarily in the public sphere, he selects spaces for their social, historical and architectural resonance. Working within the context of a defined space, Andrew chooses to collaborate with actors, dancers and participants to explore particular movements, scripts or actions creating new meanings and definitions between person and place.

“ Duggan [makes] subtle visual interventions at various points, either by writing with charcoal on various surfaces, such as the pavement, or by leaving some photographs accompanied by a word or two. ” -Vasilis Karamalegos

“ [Andrew Duggan’s] commissioned works often interrogate art housed in public institutions […] ”- Joanne Laws

“ Born in Cork and raised in Dublin, I live on the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland with photographer Siobhán Dempsey and our three children Oisín, Isolde and Jude. I see the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking area) as an outlier; a space in which I can push the boundaries of (my) art practice. ”

Andrew Duggan studied at the Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork, under Jo Allen, at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin under Dorothy Cross and Willie Doherty and at the University of Ulster, Belfast under Moire McIvor.
