Projects

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

Our gallery programming is centred around our open-submission Artist-Initiated Projects. Selected projects are presented in the context of a gallery space with a dedicated tradition towards the professional development of artists in a peer-led, supportive environment and are supplemented with artists’ talks, texts, workshops, performances, artists' interviews, and gallery visits by colleges and local schools.

This core programme is contextualised alongside collaborative, curated, and international projects.

Cliona Harmey—Troposphere
17/04/14—03/05/14

Referring to the lowest atmospheric layer and literally meaning “sphere of change”, the troposphere is the site of weather, turbulence and atmospheric transformation.

Curated Projects
Seán Guinan—Cuckoo Clock
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.

Artist-Initiated Projects
Stephen Dunne—Subliminal Anarchy
20/03/14—29/03/14

The exhibition operates across the registers of painting drawing, moving image and the investigation of speculative and theoretical fictions.

Artist-Initiated Projects
Margaret Fitzgibbon—Reflections from, through and beyond a family archive
13/03/14—17/03/14

One of the ways we define the present moment is by valuing or devaluing past events. This exhibition takes a series of personal family artefacts that appear to have no intrinsic ‘value’ to show how such intimate remains both conceal and reveal prevailing circumstances and wider belief systems of a specific period.

Artist-Initiated Projects
Alison Pilkington—Malevolentos

Alison Pilkington's new show at Pallas Projects is a presentation of her Practice based PhD research in painting at National College Art & Design Dublin entitled “Unfamiliar Terrain” - An Investigation into the Uncanny in Painting”.

Special Projects
A LETTER TO LUCY
24/08/13—21/09/13

The relationship between Labour and Capital shifted irrevocably in 1913 in the Great Dublin Lockout, just as it is shifting today – whether through the directives that change the face of rural labour, or the lockouts of our time, or the marketplace which directed our lives without our even knowing, or that the spaces we think are public but are governed by restrictive rules, or how we perform in relationship to knowledge and the past – this is what A LETTER TO LUCY addresses, what these artists take on. 

Curated Projects
BYOB Dublin ‘13
08/08/13—08/08/13

BYOB Dublin ’13 is an DIY curatorial format where artists collaborate on site to create a moving image experience.
