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.

In a time where the categories of ‘human’ and ‘object’ are blurring visibly due to technological advances, McKeagney is pointing to a blurring that has always existed. Our category of human is malleable; driven, directed and redefined by the artefacts, objects, minerals and materials we have ever had at hand. Part of our 2018 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
“I make work about my own life, mainly figurative domestic scenes. I always want to present myself as accurately as possible. Throughout my life, I have been asked where I am from; to which I have always replied ʻLucanʼ.” Part of our 2018 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
In the work exhibited in Realtime, Lewis draws on her experience of space and time at sea, the accounts of fellow marathon swimmers, and data gleaned from environmental and body-worn technology. Part of our 2018 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
“The visual and architectural apparatus of the Church is the embodiment of Catholic doctrine; promulgating the notion that one must submit oneself entirely, body and soul, to be a ‘good’ Catholic.” Part of our 2018 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
Chrome Dreams begins with a sculpture which is based around a sheet of ArtGlass™. This completely clear glass acts an invisible platform for a variety of reflective elements. This portable sculpture was brought to a forest in Ballyedmonduff (Dublin Mountains) where it was photographed in a variety of positions. Part of our 2018 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
Artist-Initiated Projects at Pallas Projects/Studios is an open-submission, annual gallery programme of 12 x 2-week exhibitions taking place between April and November 2018.
Denis Kelly’s paintings are characterised by hard edge colour motifs, predominantly painted flat on wooden surfaces. The paintings explore light, form and space in a playful response to the built environment and the wider designed world.
Natasha Conway makes small scale paintings in oil on linen or board often featuring collaged elements. The work is an ongoing exploration of the language of abstraction.
Introduced to Orson Welles’ iconic film, Citizen Kane, as a student at the National College of Art and Design in the 1980’s, artist Darina Meagher now revisits the film to explore the concept of ‘radioactive memory’.
Elizabeth Archbold’s practice is concerned with the experience of the viewer in looking at the painting, painting as an index of making over time in an open-ended thinking process, and painting as a reciprocal exchange of forms and references with the environment.
This exhibition showcases David Turner’s portraits of famous world leaders as ordinary young people created using Lego bricks or Hama Beads.
Interrogating one fixed visual point with one printed image, and multiple, layered projected images, there are six points of sound to connect to in the space.
