Damiano Curschellas and Colm Mac Athlaoich—1001 Shows

After each exhibition an unspoken rule requires to paint the space in order to remove all the traces for the upcoming show. Pallas Projects moved to 115–117 The Coombe in 2012 and since then has hosted more than one hundred and thirty shows. The exhibition 1001 Shows by Colm Mac Athlaoich and Damiano Curschellas understands itself as a moment within an ongoing program.

A selection of considered works were brought to Pallas Projects and placed on the shelf to expand the exhibition space and an edition of silkscreened floor plans use previous exhibition texts to serve as backgrounds to carry additional information for 1001 Shows.
