Projects

Pallas Projects collaborates with artists and groups, placing a particular emphasis on early-career, emerging artists and recent graduates, experimental or overlooked practices.

Artist-Initiated Projects (AIP) is a highly accessible open-submission programme, presented in a peer-led, supportive environment. It is designed to be dynamic, quick and responsive to reflect what artists are currently making. Periodical Review (2011–present) sets out to consider, revisit and review current movements within contemporary art practices from around Ireland to facilitate and encourage new readings, collaboration, crossover and debate.

This core programme is contextualised alongside collaborative and international projects.

John Lalor—MOMENT OF SURRENDER
08/04/16—23/04/16

MOMENT OF SURRENDER (the paintings) are for the artist a way of staying creative, through the process of everyday painting. This process is an important aspect of Lalor’s practice, which was in hiatus during his preceding all consuming film project INCIDENT URBAIN, and has returned injecting a new lease of life into Lalor's daily work and approach to film-making.
