Pallas Projects/Studios are pleased to present Intersite—Error: /undefined, the seventh exhibition of our 2023 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
Error: /Undefined investigates systems of power and the altering effects of
infrastructure and systems.
Error: /Undefined activates a sense of destruction and construction, virtual and
corporeal, ambiguity and the concrete.
Error: /Undefined evokes breathlessness and breakdown, it speaks of the
relinquished control to omnipresent external forces.
Biography
inter_site is a Cork based artist collective established by Pádraic Barrett, Deirdre Breen,
Aoife Claffey and Kate McElroy. They graduated together from the MA in Art and Process, Crawford College of Art and Design, MTU, 2021. Since then they have created six site-
responsive exhibitions in Cork.
inter_site create interventions and exhibitions, utilising unique venues and display
mechanisms responding to the precarious and ever shifting nature of our current reality.
Their work responds to the current environmental, political and social climate. Each artist
employs a multi-disciplinary approach responding to the specific sites they encounter,
enhancing the viewer's experience of place with an emphasis on spatial and sensory
effects. The work speculates on alternative and imaginative spaces that present to the
viewer embodied encounters and altered viewpoints. They aim to embed art into the fabric
of the everyday, using art as a tool to probe and question current societal systems and
structures of power. They are interested in peripheral and non-traditional art spaces which
can open up new ways of considering the surrounding environment and re-imagine our
present moment.
