Andy Fitz’s new exhibition continues a recent series of sculptures debuted at VISUAL Centre for Contemporary Art in Carlow, curated by Benjamin Stafford. Unremarkable domestic objects are balanced in precarious abstraction from their usual surroundings, each building on these unresolved tensions; the personal in the political, and the present in light of the past. Memory, like the nature of Fitz’s materials, is mutable; open to use, misuse, interpretation, corruption. Memory failure can be understood as a technological fault but also a human one, prompting one to look again, and again.

Andy Fitz lives and works in Berlin, Germany. A graduate of the Stadelschule in Frankfurt, his recent solo exhibitions include Guts Berlin, Kunstverein Göttingen, Germany, and Kerlin Gallery Dublin. A major solo show, NOW NOW, continues at VISUAL Centre of Contemporary Art, Carlow until May 10.
