Description: Alan Phelan (b. Dublin, 1968) is an Irish artist known for his complex works which create relationships between quite disparate elements of political history, cultural theory, popular culture, science fiction, and modified cars. This publication documents Alan Phelan’s Fragile Absolutes exhibition of 15 works realised in a variety of materials and processes, from hand-carved marble, through to video and papier mâché sculpture.
