Manifesta 5. artists. Garrett Phelan

Phelan, Garrett
1965 Dublin, lives in Dublin (Ireland).

Lung Love (2004) is situated in an abandoned carpentery workshop in the historic port district of San Sebastian. The second installment in a series by Garrett Phelan, the project illustrates the processes through which ideas or beliefs enter into society, from the level of the official to the subversive. A sequence of quickly rendered, drawings on the walls create an open-ended narrative inspired by a disparate collection of inconclusive thoughts, ideas and facts. In a bombardment of visual information, Phelan’s sketches become complex theoretical diagrams exploring metaphors with connections to a range of subjects including breathing, health, electromagnetics, and manufactured energy.
