POP presents OUTLET, the inaugural exhibition at Pallas Open Projects. As the name suggests OUTLET is a series of workshops/events offering activities as a means of escape situated within a 2 week exhibition. OUTLET is hosted and presented by Pallas Projects/Studios staff, combining skills from their careers as Arts Workers, Artists and DJs.
Taking its title from both the idea of an emotional or creative outlet and the electrical outlet as a point of connection and activation, the exhibition and surrounding events explore the ways people seek release, recharge and community within the conditions of contemporary working life.
Bringing together painting, textiles, and video works by participating artists and expanding beyond the gallery format, OUTLET will host an opening party alongside a programme of workshops, listening parties and a dedicated “work from home together” day. Transforming the space into a site of exchange, the gallery becomes an active social environment: a temporary infrastructure for exchange, rest, and participation. OUTLET invites audiences to engage with art not only as something to observe, but as something to plug into and as a shared space for circulation.
Opening Day Party

Dámhín Mckeown is an interdisciplinary artist and culture worker based in Dublin, Ireland. His practice brings communities on the margins into the arts space through installation, curation, and driving collaborative, socially engaged projects.

Emily Marie Forster is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Dublin 8. They graduated from the National College of Art and Design in 2022 with a degree in Fine Art Painting.
Their work looks at the body as a landscape, grief, connection and transmutation. They work in mediums such as paint, digital techniques, text, sculpture and social engagement. Their work builds a mythology of the body through surreal imagery, humour and depression, blurring the line between sorrow and ecstasy.
Based in The Liberties, they create intimate, chaotic worlds that speak to pain, transformation and the messy sanctity of being alive.

Lana May Fleming is a visual artist based in Dublin, her multidisciplinary practice examines the societal pressures that drive individuals to physically and digitally alter their bodies. Utilising performance through video the work explores themes of identity, autonomy and the impact of ever evolving beauty standards. Through a combination of satire and surreal visuals, the work often blurs the boundaries between critique and participation, engaging the audience in a dialogue around the tension between personal agency and societal expectation.
