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.

A random mess, a shantytown, a temporary nuisance, a necessary group-hug to negate the cold, and a special opening performance by Big Chief Random Chaos. Enter Bizarre Bazaar, an open platform for the exchange of ideas, where every idea has its price.

Curated Projects
Jim Ricks—Synchromaterialism
16/10/10—13/11/12

Jim Ricks has developed the method of synchro-materialism as a means to consider the territory where art meets capitalism. To do this properly, history must be re-worked, splintered and re-imagined.

Paper Work
04/12/09—19/12/09
