LISTEN BACK: Do It Together Screening + Conversation: Gordon Matta-Clark
15th October, 6-8 pm

Pallas would like to thank all of our guests who attended the screening of Gordon Matta-Clark's films last Wednesday at NCAD. As part of the event, Pallas hosted a conversation between artist Jennie Moran and Jessamyn Fiore, director of the Gordon Matta-Clark Estate. You can listen back to the conversation on our YouTube channel via the link in bio!

The Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark is a small, private, family-run artist estate that was Founded by Jane Crawford, the artist’s widow, after Matta-Clark's untimely death in 1978 at the age of 35. In 2012 Crawford’s daughter, Jessamyn Fiore, officially joined as Co-Director of the Estate and became Director in 2025. In 2002, the Estate moved the archive of Gordon Matta-Clark to the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, officially gifting it to the institution in 2011. Since 1998, the Estate has been represented by the David Zwirner Gallery. In addition to facilitating exhibitions, publications and projects about Gordon Matta-Clark, the Estate also supports the generation of new work by contemporary artists and other creatives in conversation with Matta-Clark's practice and legacy.

This event is part of Do It Together Pallas Projects 1996–2026

Biographies:

Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978) was a seminal American artist whose radical "building cuts" redefined the relationship between architecture, urban space, and art. Trained as an architect at Cornell University, Matta-Clark rejected conventional practice in favour of what he called "anarchitecture"—an alternative use of buildings that entailed a rejection of what he termed "the functionalist aspect of past-due Machine Age moralists". His temporary interventions in condemned structures, documented almost exclusively through film and photography, constituted a denunciation not just of architecture's functions but of the American dream of progress itself.

UPCOMING: neonatus.exe—I can play my silicone meatsac

Opening: 6–8pm Thurs 26th November
Exhibition runs: Friday 27th November–Saturday 12th December
Closing Performance: orbs=sound, 12/12, 4pm

Pallas Projects are pleased to present neonatus.exe— the final exhibition of our 2026 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

Hold still space
Watch you watching me
Moving in slow motion cue
Disco lights set the tempo
Tech freak loverboy
This is just an illusion, uh-huh
Don't hold me back, I'm gonnadance
Don't you be leaving me out on the floor
I'll bring a supernova to the club tonight
[Chorus]x2
I'm that girl, space cadet
Holdin' it down
—
life is a tangled mess we
underestimate the complexities of
anything we try to pry out at night
but think of all the writing on the
walls in chalk
that stay up forever, do they anticipate
finding cracks in oppositions when they
meet?

I spend so much time in virtual space
Twisted up together behind the screen
It's getting hard for me to see
Hard for me to feel and touch
And it's easy to fall in too deep
I'm slipping on a designer drug
Hyped up digitized heartache
It's been hard for me to see me
I guess I forgot how to love any other way
Than what I see up on that screen

Do It Together
Pallas Projects 1996–2026
Exhibition closes today, Saturday October 24

In parallel to Do It Together a number of works collected over the years by Pallas’ artistic directors Mark Cullen & Gavin Murphy and curator Eve Woods (often swapped, gifted or exchanged) will be introduced at intervals throughout the run of the exhibition, alongside books, printed matter and other ephemera.

A flush of artworks is introduced each week and will exist in the space until the end of Phase II, traversing the gallery in response to further additions each week.

George Bolster
Assumption of the Virgin Mary, 2010
George Bolster’s Assumption of the Virgin Mary (2010) has been riding on the dashboards of my various vehicles since it was one of the standout pieces at our 2010 Bizarre Bazaar. It’s now taking a well-earned break from its travels to watch over Do It Together.

Anna Boyle
Framed marker pen drawing of buildings,2005
Following her two-person show with Jesse Jones at Pallas Heights in 2005, Anna Boyle produced a series of marker pen drawings of flat complexes, one of which we're delighted to show in Do It Together. Hung above Brendan Earley's marker pen drawings from around the time of his own Pallas Heights exhibition, the works form an intriguing triangle with Jones's video from the 2005 show, also playing in the gallery. Jones's melancholic video unfolds like a sombre requiem for the apartment blocks then scheduled for demolition, while Earley's contribution - a paired stack of VHS tapes resembling modernist tower blocks - adds another architectural echo, connecting the three artists through their shared engagement with the built environment and its disappearance.

Ruth Proctor
I was only fooling, 2009. Paper/collage

British artist Ruth Proctor was part of the 2-part group exhibition 'Automatic' which took place in 2009 at Auto Italia (London) and Pallas Contemporary Projects, curated by Gavin Murphy and Chris Fite-Wassilak. The work 'I was only fooling' is from the later group exhibition 'Paper Work' in 2010.

Neva Elliot
'I am tears encased in a thin membrane, a jellyfish, washed up on this shore', 2024, glassware, table

Neva's exhibition Notes on Being Human brought together reparative acts of making as part of the post-bereavement healing process through the artist’s own experiences of loss. A glass segment of the sculptural installation was gifted, living in the Pallas offices until its return to the gallery for Phase II.

Ark Life / Celina Muldoon
Ephemera from workshop, 2021, tree branch

A branch from a tree which was gathered as part of workshops in local schools. It held a flag in the parade celebrating urban biodiversity and has traces of yellow spray paint. This multifaceted project was centred around a new commission by artist Celina Muldoon, initiated by Pallas Projects and funded by the Arts Council, and involved a series of online and real-world workshops, in collaboration with local schools and community groups

Nasty Women Dublin/Katie Holten 2
Katie Holten, Kisses for Repeal laser print & lipstick. 30 x22cm.
Nasty Women Dublin was a curated fundraising exhibition for The Coalition to Repeal the 8th Amendment at Pallas in 2017. Curated by Eve Woods, with Aggie Veale & Chloë Nagle, a phone tree model was used, inviting leading Irish artists and curators including Sheena Barrett, Helen Carey, Mary Cremin Jessamyn Fiore, Siobhan Geoghegan, Gillian Lawler, Loitering Theatre, Alice Maher and Kathy Tynan to invite a futher network of artists to exhibit and sell work for the cause. Funds raised through sales of work went to the Artists Campaign to Repeal the 8th and The Coalition to Repeal the 8th Amendment. Artist Katie Holten, used the font she created for the original exhibition in New York to make the work ‘Kisses for Repeal’, especially for Nasty Women Dublin.

Launched in 2016, Pallas Projects Editions was conceived as a series of specially commissioned, affordable artworks by Irish and international artists, with proceeds supporting the development of exhibitions, projects and exchanges at Pallas Projects/Studios.
The first two editions featured Niall de Buitléar and Gillian Lawler, both artists with longstanding connections to Pallas. Although the series never progressed beyond these initial works - other projects took precedence - the ambition remains as relevant as ever.

Featuring: Kunsthal Gent

Pallas would like to offer a special thank you to Kunsthal Gent for contributing a section of Thomas Min and Egon Van Herreweghe's 'Crisis of Masculinity' (part of their Endless Exhibtion), as well as items from its programme to our 30th anniversary exhibition.

Kunsthal Gent is an experimental intersection for the presentation and development of contemporary art, located in a monumental fourteenth-century Carmelite monastery in the centre of Ghent since 2018. During the weekend, Kunsthal Gent is an exhibition space. On working days it is a workplace for artists and artistic organisations, but there are also public activities: from lectures and workshops to screenings and performances. Three times a year there is an opening with a new series of exhibitions. In the permanent exhibition programme Endless Exhibition, contributors add exhibitions without an end date. In addition, Kunsthal Gent houses the development programme Permanently Practising, offering six artists, collectives, organisations or collaborative projects a grant for a work period each year.

Thomas Min and Egon Van Herreweghe first collaborated in 2016 (An Ideal Husband) and again in 2019 (Crisis of Masculinity). Their joint projects are often large-scale or long-term, and draw on their immediate surroundings and personal experiences. Recurring themes include masculinity, sculptural machismo, and machines.
