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.

Seamus O’Rourke—Dark Inventory

In this ongoing ‘Dark Inventory’ series the artist engages with politicizing the space between what is visible and what is absent. He emphasises this critical moment in the history of Modernism in Europe with a corresponding reductive process on paper.

Ruby Wallis—Unfixed Landscape
29/10/14—01/11/14

Through my practice I argue for a return to the senses by engaging with the landscape, through the sort of ‘haptic’ experience film can provide. I have chosen Coolorta, a small alternative community in the West of Ireland for the location of this research.

03/04/14—12/04/14

The paintings in Cuckoo Clock reflect a new momentum and direction in Seán Guinan's practice. The paintings are the result of a series of interventions, the terms of which are dictated by a daily scrutinizing, obliterating/mending and an intuitive working-out of the direction each one needs to take.
