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.

Brendan Earley — Arrival

“Perhaps a lot of the high expectations had a lot to do with some very strong undercurrents in Modernism, found, often as not in its Utopian ideals. The block of flats where the installation will be built comes from these high ideals, built in the late sixties this building project was seen as a solution”.

Precinct Belfast

Curated Projects
Precinct

Precinct utilises the spaces currently dedicated to advertising hoarding all around the city. Placed within the context of billboard advertising, art has an ability to touch peoples lives in a more immediate and unsuspecting way.

Curated Projects
Salon 99

The intention of Salon 99 would be to move away from the process of presentation in favour of the up front display methods of the early 20th century Parisians. A chorus of condensed images will replace the cool space of the modernist gallery.
