The Pallas Periodical Review might be Pallas’s only commercial show of the year, but don’t let that allow you to mistake it for a run-of-the-mill winter show. The need for a yearly review was inspired, in part, by the end-of-year lists often published in glossy art publications like Aesthetica and Art Review, but in some ways the exhibition is the antithesis of these.
Shunning the hollow listing off of names for something more tangible, Pallas’s in-house curators Gavin Murphy and Mark Cullen enlisted the help of Eamonn Maxwell and Pádraic E. Moore to create a curatorial power-team that could survey the exhibition output of galleries and festivals nationwide, from EVA International to art college graduate shows. The results, as with last years’ debut edition, are impressive: works from Aleana Egan (originally shown in the Douglas Hyde Gallery), Garrett Phelan (IMMA), Isabel Nolan (The Model), Aoibheann Greenan (EVA), and a good few more jostle for our attention in Pallas’s rather charming ex-school house space.
We asked Pallas to take part in our series of online exhibitions. In our Virtual Gallery, a selection of works from the Pallas Periodical Review are presented alongside a few words by the curators, in which they reflect upon their choice.
Pallas Periodical Review runs at Pallas Projects/Studios until January 26th.
