Patrick Killoran (b. 1972, Pennsylvania) lives and works in New York City.

Killoran’s installation Immergence was presented at Las Cienegas Projects in Los Angeles in 2009 and at Hyde Park Art Center in 2010. He has also presented solo projects at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, USA; IKON in Birmingham, UK and the Sculpture Center in New York City, USA.

Killoran has been included in numerous international exhibitions, including Everyday, the 1998 Biennial of Sydney, Australia; Wanås 2000 at the Wanås Foundation in Sweden; All About Laughter at the Mori Museum in Tokyo, Japan; Behind the Green Door at Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York and the One on One Festival in London, UK, in both 2010 and 2011.
