This is the third part of the substantial Fragile Absolutes, a project started by Alan Phelan in 2008. Political History and Cultural assumptions are firmly pushed into the spotlight by Phelan’s unique approach, which is characterized by opposing ideas, conflicting assumptions, mashed together to mock and praise. Using an ‘unfinished’ quality to some of his work mirrors the uncertainty that belies our cultural assumptions. This is work that strives to promote debate, a dialogue that poses more questions of society than answers.
