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.

Here’s the Tender Coming (WHOOPEE) We’re all Going to Die plays out a dialogue concerning the reclamation of death within the condition of life, a space where finitude is integral, death is never far from the mind of the artist, and present on the surface, just underneath, or within the text of their work.
