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.

Susan Gogan, Sally Timmons & Sarah O'Toole—Via
24/03/06—15/05/06

Via is a collaborative artist-led initiative, created to explore through art, issues surrounding history, culture and art practice within the context of the changing identity of Dublin city.

Curated Projects
Vanessa O'Reilly—Swarm
24/03/06—15/05/06

Vanessa O'Reilly's SWARM operates less as a theme and more as a descriptive process. Swarm intelligence is used to describe systems typically made up of a population of simple agents interacting locally with one another and with their environment.

Curated Projects
By Diverse Means We Arrive at the Same End
11/02/06—26/03/06

This is a different kind of art exhibition. This is not meant as an egotistical statement, for what makes it different is not the result of an exhaustive and elaborate set of ideological criteria that has been met, or the culmination of a curator's taste, status, perspective or target-audience.
