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.

Here’s the Tender Coming (WHOOPEE) We’re all Going to Die

Here’s the Tender Coming (WHOOPEE) We’re all Going to Die plays out a dialogue concerning the reclamation of death within the condition of life, a space where finitude is integral, death is never far from the mind of the artist, and present on the surface, just underneath, or within the text of their work.

John Smith—The world seems a long way away

The exhibition contains in the first programme four key works filmed on 16mm between 1976 and 1996, beginning with the seminal The Girl Chewing Gum shot in black and white on a grey day in Hackney, through to the lyrical Blight, revolving around the building of the M11 Link Road in East London and the bitter campaign by local residents to protect their homes from demolition, and made in collaboration with the composer Jocelyn Pook.
