Opening reception today: Friday 10 April 6–10pm 🎉🎉🎉 Exhibition until 10 May One Twenty-Nine Andy Fitz Curated by Benjamin Stafford Patient Info 902 North Western Avenue Chicago 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. @aaaahndy @benj_staff_ @patientinfo @cultureireland @expochicago @irelandchicago @visual_carlow #askeaton #onlyinaskeaton #acaontheroad #expochicago26 #askeatoncontemporaryarts

I stand in solidarity with the signatories of ANGA’s demands and support their call to exclude Israel from the Venice Biennale. The widening war we are witnessing did not appear overnight. It grows from years of normalizing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its 78 year occupation of Palestine, allowing institutions to treat it as an exception. Culture must not provide cover for genocide and the brutal imperial aggression being unleashed on Iran and Lebanon. No genocide pavilion. No artwashing in our name. @angalliance

Although every identifiable object in 'Now Now' by Andy Fitz could exist on or above a tabletop, the scale of the sculptures is hard to decipher. The objects - floating, balanced or pinned through centralised points - create macro and micro environments. They are supported by thin metal stands at table height across the gallery floor or hung like orbital planes from lamp cable. 📅 31 January - 10 May 2026 ⏰ Tues - Sat 11am - 5.30pm, Sun 2pm - 5pm | Free admission 🗓 Free Lunchtime Exhibition Tours | Tuesdays, fortnightly, 1pm - 2pm More information ➡️ Link in bio 📷 1.

In Now Now by Andy Fitz, presented in the Main Gallery at VISUAL, the largest gallery in Ireland, the visitor enters the gallery through a small utilitarian corridor - the galleries’ monumental wood panelled thresholds are blocked and replaced with domestic size doors markedly out of scale with the room. 📅 31 January - 10 May 2026 ⏰ Tues - Sat 11am - 5.30pm, Sun 2pm - 5pm | Free admission 🗓 Free Lunchtime Exhibition Tours | Tuesdays, fortnightly, 1pm - 2pm More information ➡️ Link in bio 📷 Andy Fitz, 'Now now', 2026, Installation view, VISUAL Carlow.

End of 2024 @pva_journal published a Berlin focused issue. I did this interview and at the launch had a conversation with the very brilliant @badbwoyroro (who I should have been much more nervous to speak to, thankfully he is also very kind). I feel like I wrote this five years ago rather than just over one. There was a lot further to fall. Free Palestine Saoirse don Phalaistín

Experience 'Now now' by Andy Fitz in the largest gallery in Ireland at VISUAL! “Now” uses language to record a passing moment in time. Here, an out-of-date present is rearranged in minute detail, as though the process might reveal something. Time remains static – the food never grows mouldy. Unremarkable domestic objects are balanced across the gallery in precarious abstraction from their usual surroundings. “Now now” - a warning, or a consolation? The sculptures build on these unresolved tensions; the personal in the political, the present in light of the past. 📅 31 January - 10 May 2026 ⏰ Tues - Sat 11am - 5.30pm, Sun 2pm - 5pm | Free admission 🗓 Free Lunchtime Exhibition Tours | Tuesdays, fortnightly, 1pm - 2pm More information ➡️ Link in bio 📷 1.

💥 Andy Fitz, Now now 📍 VISUAL Carlow, Ireland 📆 31 January - 10 May 2026 “Now” uses language to record a passing moment in time. In Fitz's exhibition, an out-of-date present is rearranged in minute detail as though the process might reveal something. Time remains static – the food never grows mouldy. Unremarkable domestic objects are balanced across the gallery in precarious abstraction from their usual surroundings. “Now now” is also a phrase whose function and meaning is dependent on tone; it can be understood as a warning, or a consolation. The sculptures build on these unresolved tensions; the personal in the political, the present in light of the past. In Fitz’s sculptures illusion and gimmickry plays a central role; a pile of books sputters and hums before emitting a puff of smoke. These sculptures might be read as relics, frozen forms that record impressions of an absent human touch, though this interpretation is disrupted by the individual objects. These appear repeated over and over like a continuity error; multiples of house keys, almond bowls, coffee cups and boiled eggs changed by the implied passage of time. This repetition creates a disorientating “stop-motion” effect amongst the sculptures; they become understood in relation to each other, rather than in their own right. Files, binders, old found photographs and books imply a process of record keeping and a desire to put an order on time and memory. Doing so is inherently impossible; everyone remembers differently, and for different reasons. 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. @aaaahndy @visual_carlow Photos by @roskavanagh #AndyFitz #Nownow #VisualCarlow

In “Now now” an out-of-date present is rearranged in minute detail as though the process might reveal something. Time remains static – the food never grows mouldy. Unremarkable domestic objects are balanced across the gallery in precarious abstraction from their usual surroundings. The main galleries’ monumental wood panelled thresholds are blocked and replaced with domestic size doors. Every identifiable object in the space could exist on or above a tabletop, but the pieces stand away from each other, simple still life scenarios stretched out across the space. Floating, balanced or pinned through centralised points, the constellation of objects create both macro and micro environments. They are supported by thin metal stands at table height across the gallery floor or hung like orbital planes from lamp cable. . Now now . .
