Pallas Press release, people moving and some changes - May 2009.
New horizons
Pallas Contemporary Projects
would like to announce that after 13 years of hard and
tenacious work, keeping the studios on an even keel through interesting times
and
organising 49 exhibitions with Pallas Heights, Studios and Projects co-founder
Brian Duggan will be leaving his position as Director and Curator at Pallas.
Brian
was instrumental in helping Pallas play its part in creating a vibrant animated
contemporary art scene in Ireland. Brian made a huge contribution to Pallas
in
his years as Executive Director, so we are happy to report that Brian will
retain
his position on the board where his experience, input and insight into art
and
strategic planning will be a valuable support to the continued development
of Pallas.
From mid-May 2009 onwards
Brian will be engaged full-time on his own artistic
projects. Pallas would like to thank him for his years of tireless service
and
wish him the very best in his future projects, not least his upcoming solo
exhibition with The Golden Bough commission series, in the Hugh Lane Gallery.
Pallas would like to acknowledge that it has been a pleasure to work with
an
artist of such wide and varied talents.
Co-founder and Director
Mark Cullen will be joined by artist Gavin Murphy as
Co-director and artist Fiona Chambers will continue her role as Assistant
Studios and Gallery Manager.
The current Pallas board
consists of Helen Carey (Chair), Garrett Phelan,
Patrick Murphy, Gabby Smith, and Patrick Ambrose. Upcoming projects for
Pallas include Unsolicited Fabrications: Shareware Sculptures, by Stephanie
Syjuco (C.A.) a project in partnership with 126 Galway, and in the autumn
a two-part group exhibition of Irish and international artists and a new
connection with AutoItalia, London, and PCP Dublin.
I would like to say a
thank you to the Arts Council and Dublin City Council
for their valued support of Pallas. But a special thank you is due to Mark,
Gavin and the artists whom I had the pleasure to work with over the years.
Pallas is made up of artists, and the projects over the last 13 years were
unique. I think we did something important and special in that time, and I
look forward to seeing what the future holds.
