BackgroundCoogan was born in 1972 in Palmerston North and has lived in Wellington.[2] She is currently based in Palmerston North.[3] EducationCoogan completed a Masters in Fine Arts (First Class Honours) at Massey University in 2004, and a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Teaching at Victoria University of Wellington in 2012.[1] CareerCoogan first appeared on the New Zealand music scene in 2004 as part of art-rock band Cortina. Their music was described as a fusion of "heavy metal guitar (courtesy of Ace Hurt aka Matt Hunt), odd synth noises and bizarre lyrics (“ILLUMINATI! JENNY SHIPLEY!”)."[4] Gareth Shute described her stage persona and dress as "an insane, but stylish 80s housewife: tight jumpsuits, tinted sunglasses, and headbands. At one show at Bodega, Wellington, she squeezed a pie out of the slit in the front of her satin/lace one piece jumpsuit and began scooping out pieces to feed to the crowd. One another occasion, she was recovering from a car accident and completed a national tour wearing a neck brace with “fucked off” scrawled across it."[5] Luke Rowell of Disasteradio characterised her performances as "breaking down the hierarchy between performer and audience." In 2013, she formed the band Fantasing with Sarah Jane Parton, Claire Harris, and Gemma Syme.[5] They were the Audio Foundation's artists in residence in 2016.[6] She also performs as solo as Oona Verse and Sheville.[5] Coogan is part of the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra, with whom she toured the world in 2016.[7] Member Andy Morley-Hall describes Coogan: "My mum calls Bek The Original Rebel. I reckon she's like a cosmic whirlwind of new and refreshing ideas. She doesn't see the world quite like the rest of us do. Though she thinks deeply about things she is the opposite of earnest."[8] She first exhibited her drawings in 2002, based on a character called Sheville.[2] "Drawing on influences including New Zealand painter Colin McCahon and DIY feminist, punk-inspired drawing/collage, the exhibition signalled the idealistic foundations of Coogan’s practice"[2] She has continued to exhibit and perform widely, including shows at Enjoy Gallery, The New Zealand Film Archive and Depot Artspace in Devonport. Coogan was a contributor to NZ women's comics anthology, Three Words. In the book, she describes her practice: "Coogan is a multidisciplinary artist who likes to test what Art is. Bek sees Performance Art, Video, Bands and Drawing as an active and politicised ideology. Art is a call to the wild or to the source, which Bek endures the shit-fight to get back to using whatever medium she can get her hands on, a vivid or a microphone drawing it up from the earth...There was, and is still now an idealistic aspect to this practice, positing an alternative female and mythic utopia. "But why the farg is it even idealist?" says Sheville, "this shit is normal where I come from.""[9] WorksPublications
