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.

Thirty Two Thousand Years Later

The exhibition Thirty Two Thousand Years Later involves a considered selection of artists who experiment with conventions of painting from diverse starting points.

Sarah Browne & Gareth Kennedy—Current Trends - Past Prospects

 The work in this exhibition is derived from sources that include a 1977 Hollywood film; a fragment of a script from TV show Dallas (1987); an advertising jingle Bringing Home the Oil – promoting the Gulf Oil company based in Bantry Bay (1969), and a Dáil debate (1985, after the Betelgeuse disaster).

Head or Tail

“Head or Tail” or “Hua rua Goy” is the term that Thais use to describe the uncertainty of a situation or simply to gamble with the future. Under the dynamic tension posed by this uncertainty the curators have chosen a group of new media and video artists who use the latest in technology to express the concerns of modern life in general and in South East Asia in particular.
