Projects

Pallas Projects collaborates with artists and groups, placing a particular emphasis on early-career, emerging artists and recent graduates, experimental or overlooked practices.

Our gallery programming is centred around our open-submission Artist-Initiated Projects. Selected projects are presented in the context of a gallery space with a dedicated tradition towards the professional development of artists in a peer-led, supportive environment and are supplemented with artists’ talks, texts, workshops, performances, artists' interviews, and gallery visits by colleges and local schools.

This core programme is contextualised alongside collaborative, curated, and international projects.

Ciara Rodgers—Paper Facades make Tender Follies
04/06/26—20/06/26

Cities, often produced through the logic of capitalism, inevitably generate excess in the form of debris, gaps, and distortions that resist sleek incorporation. The exhibition Paper Facades make Tender Follies works within this excess, framing the city as a body that is sheltering, worn, and repeatedly repaired through acts of care and shaped by its circadian rhythms of light and darkness.

12/03/26—28/03/26

Building on Marron’s long standing engagement with communications and internet infrastructure, this exhibition brings together new artworks that collectively address the material, social and relational underpinnings of such systems.

Artist-Initiated Projects
Gary Farrelly—Quasi-Autonomous Stitch
09/10/25—25/10/25

Quasi-Autonomous Stitch, takes its name from a sewing procedure devised as a method of overwriting and absorbing images and surfaces. The works here are restless, shifting between seams, carbon traces, labels, blueprints, photographs, and logbooks. At stake are languages of construction, obsolescence, staging, and transmission—creased, overwritten, redacted, repaired, forced into proximity.

Artist-Initiated Projects
Stephanie Syjuco—Unsolicited Fabrications: Shareware Sculptures
01/05/09—30/05/09

Syjuco’s installation of hand-made sculptures is based on a shared database of “artworks” created by users of SketchUp, a 3-D modelling software made by Google.

Collaboration
2 films by 2 artists—Manon de Boer’s Resonating Surfaces and Lovely Andrea by Hito Steyerl
20/03/09—19/04/09

Hito Steyerl’s 2007 film Lovely Andrea follows the artist as she returns to Japan, where she briefly worked in the 80s as a bondage model under the assumed name Andrea, to search for a photograph of herself. In Resonating Surfaces Manon de Boer recorded and transcribed memories of São Paulo from people who grew up in São Paulo and now live in Europe.
