SOLO AWARD WINNER 2013 - LAURA FITZGERALD: WORK BASED ANXIETIES

About

8 January - 1 February 2014 Vernissage Tuesday 7th January 6-9pm AT WW GALLERY, LONDON LAURA FITZGERALD is winner of the WW SOLO Award 2013, selected by Alison Wilding, Ceri Hand, Charlotte Mullins and Gill Saunders. WW Gallery is pleased to present Fitzgerald's solo show WORK BASED ANXIETIES. Laura Fitzgerald's narrative video works weave autobiographical and fictional elements to navigate her role as an artist, with results that range from the romanticized to the absurd. In WORK BASED ANXIETIES, the artist, the statement and the work are in a state of crisis. Each is on a separate trajectory and as a result, an anxiety is pervading throughout mental and physical states of being. Returning to the idea of examining what an artwork is, this new work looks to some of the structures at play within the occupation of being an artist. ABOUT THE ARTIST Laura Fitzgerald is an Irish artist based in London and Inch, she graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2013.
