THE INCH CONGLOMERATE by Laura Fitzgerald

The Inch Conglomerate newspaper was produced by artist Laura Fitzgerald, to accompany her outdoor installation Cosmic Granny in Inch, Co. Kerry, Ireland

"Collectively, the stories in the Conglomerate suggest a pervasive bureaucratic vision that dismisses and disallows “the old days” and the individuals who might personify the old days, Granny included. There’s a denial of rural Ireland as a living environment. It’s become a somewhere else, discounted and wrapped in plastic. Granny in Orbit is a symbol of exuberant, unapologetic endurance on the part of the old days, a gesture of hope in the face of adversity." - Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times
