DORM in The Model, Sligo

Pallas Contemporary Projects were asked to take part in the re-opening exhibition of the new Model in Sligo. The overall exhibition was called Dorm and involved 22 international artists collectives. Pallas presented 'We are never at home', an exhibition curated by Gavin Murphy about Pallas itself, incorporating work from artists who have shown with Pallas to date as well as publications and archive material.






We had a lot of fun installing the show and the opening night (1st May) was amazing.
There was even somewhere for you to sleep.... if you were brave enough.



I made a series of picture postcards from images of derelict houses that I photographed in Dublin. These ones are all from Dublin 7 and they're in an edition of 50 each. Visitors can take them for free.




Brian Duggan's video work is just behind my plinth. More info on who was involved in the show is here.

The sound of pixels

I found an online program that allows you to make music in a 16x16 grid (much like a tenori-on).

By reducing the 'fat kid' image from my cross stitch series to its basic pixels and making it b+w I've been able to enter it into the grid.

This is what the fat kid image sounds like:

19008,5632,43808,5632,48784,12040,49088,40640,16200,48976,1048,32480,17664,1280,1024,8704

Copy and paste the above combination onto the grid here
