Projects

Periodical Review (2011–ongoing) is a long-running curatorial project which sets out to consider, revisit and review current movements within contemporary art practices from around Ireland.

In the making presents a taste of the future. For three weeks in November 2015, Pallas Projects provides an exciting platform for emerging art practices, hosting three consecutive exhibitions of new work by degree year students from IADT’s BA in Art.

The Future is Self-Organised is an exhibition looking at artist-led practice and the role and contribution of artist-run spaces to contemporary art, culture and society.

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.

Fieldwork in the Bedrock of Spaces presents a body of work produced over the course of eighteen months at the artist’s studio in rural Tipperary. The exhibition’s title insinuates the processes through which these paintings emerged, their exploration of the means by which personal and collective experience is embedded in material and pattern.

‘Diagrams’ is a cross border collaborative project that involves the participation of artists, filmmakers, architects, new media designers and visual cultures theorists.

Mappe e Manoscritti Contemporanei is an exhibition of new drawings and paintings inspired by and created in Florence, Italy. Contemporary cartography documents political, social and cultural terrains, both experienced and imagined.

This exhibition is a distillation of experiences from time spent in meditation and ritual between 2008–2014 presented in a quiet contemplative space where you are invited to take time to be with your experience of the present moment.

We Don't Dream is an exhibition of new paintings and drawings. The artist's work employs methods of appropriation and free association, drawing from a wide range of sources, exploring a personal relationship to the nature of being and the absurd, the body, psychology, consciousness, the limits of language, struggle and failure, and personal history.

An interactive exhibition of eleven print-based artists who take over a gallery space and put art on the wall and on the floor so people can come and look and touch it.

Qualia Dublin is an artist collective comprised of Third Year BA Honor Degree Fine Art students. Through a common interest in artistic tradition and a desire to explore the possibilities of contemporary art, the collective formed in June, 2014
