The House of Atreus* is a collaborative project by Emma Brennan and Thomas Wells exploring how working class architecture reflects contemporary social and moral systems. This partnering of experiences intersects gendered labour practices, working-class identity and the entanglement of domestic and industrial spaces. 

Building on Marron’s long standing engagement with communications and internet infrastructure, this exhibition brings together new artworks that collectively address the material, social and relational underpinnings of such systems.

The work is autobiographical, grounding personal histories of chronic illnesses within a broader Irish historical framework and offering arthritis as an extended metaphor for capitalism’s extractive growth model. Corporeal immobility mirrors economic stagnation, as a generation reaches adulthood in a nation shaped by austerity politics while bodily instability and flare-ups reflect wider economic instability. 

In this exhibition, Paddy reflects on recent explorations within his work. This exhibition brings together work that reacts to his lived experience of contemporary folk culture in Ireland, along with references to his work as a painter and decorator.

Periodical Review (2011–ongoing) is a long-running curatorial project which sets out to consider, revisit and review current movements within contemporary art practices from around Ireland.

Pallas Projects are pleased to present ‘Dubliners’ – the international section of the 6th Biennial of Painting, Zagreb, curated by Mark Cullen & Gavin Murphy. The exhibition affords a unique opportunity to present together for the first time, an intergenerational grouping of painters who were born, bred, studied (and taught), or live and work in Dublin.

The Future is Self-Organised is an exhibition looking at artist-led practice and the role and contribution of artist-run spaces to contemporary art, culture and society.
