Colleen Keough is a Trans-Disciplinary artist working in video, performance, sound, installation, mixed media, and hybrid art forms. Her work explores the intersection of pop culture, identity, myth and technology through narratives and anti-narratives which deconstruct traditional modes of storytelling and performance. While living in Boston, MA in the early 90's she began screening her works in alternative venues and galleries including the Institute for Contemporary Art and Museum of Fine Arts. A move to Chicago, IL immersed her in its vibrant and eclectic music scene. Within a few years the five piece alternative-folk-rock band Rubies was born and she began writing, recording music and performing throughout the city. After more than a decade in the Midwest she returned to her Boston roots to forge a new creative path. During this transition she founded the cabaret act Sugarfuhk, a collision of performance and musical styles which took audiences on a roller coaster ride of pop culture references, comedic interludes, and glam pop and rock songs. Her recent investigates archetypal embodiments of the female voice and the fragmentation of identity and language through electronic modes of communication and identification. She earned an MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts from NYSCC Alfred University. Her works have since been exhibited throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
