| 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 his Fragile Absolutes project. The title refers to the work by the Slovenian sociologist, philosopher and cultural critic Slavoj Žižek The Fragile Absolute – or, why is the Christian legacy worth fighting for? Phelan took the italicised words from that text and used them as random word associations towards 15 ideas for works realised in a variety of materials and processes, from hand-carved marble, through to video and papier mâché sculpture.
