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.

Lesley-Ann O’Connell—Surface in Motion
04/11/15—07/11/15

Lesley-Ann O’Connell makes paintings that are about colour, surface and space. Very often the act of creating a painting begins as a problem to be solved: what would an entirely red painting look like, what would a black painting look like, how do you paint a vase of flowers without painting a vase of flowers?

'eminent domain II' is my second exhibition based on my research trip to Centralia. This work references the reality of this mining landscape and employs fictional notions of escape and adaptation through the use of hypothesized architectural structures.
