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.

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.

Taking these histories into consideration as a starting point, this exhibition takes the form of an evolving and changing set of digressions, objects and materials which pose as voices that recount, contaminate, fabricate and complicate narratives constructed by the artist deployed through performance, images, sound and text. Part of our 2022 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

Super Gairdín is a new video work by artists Cóilín O’Connell and Michelle Doyle about divine spirits, landscape, language and nature. Taking cues from the folk horror tradition, the film is set in a desolate garden centre, a space where landscape is held indefinitely. Part of our 2022 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

Rocío interrogates our present as a liminal space, an Interregnum between an unreliable past and an uncertain future. Part of our 2022 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

Chronic Collective, an initiative by artists Áine O'Hara and Tara Carroll who have developed a landmark series of events around art, illness, and disability. These events are by and for sick and disabled artists as well as anyone who wants to create with accessibility in mind, or participate in an accessible art project.

The Exquisite Moving Corpse decisions were made to trade the methodology from the original Surrealist drawing strategy with video making. Each invited artist made a one-minute video based on the last frame of the previous minute.

Lament explores the tradition of Irish ‘keening’ and its deep-rooted relationship with catharsis, loss and care. Part of our 2022 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

Qaleidoscope will feature Canadian and international film and performance art by Queer and QTIBPOC artists that explore, question and play with notions of identity and utilize queer artistic expression to propose and investigate diverse ways of looking at sexuality, gender, race and film and performance art itself.

Deliverables is a remote collaborative exhibition project, the exhibition is the story of a postal package, an experiment in communal art making, and the celebration of a collaborative structure built over the course of one year, spanning across the Atlantic ocean. Part of our 2022 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

In Contraindications of the Cross, Magee presents a series of votive multimedia chronicling the lived intersections of queerness, illness and faith, prospecting the raw material of their experiences. Part of our 2022 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
