Pallas Projects/Studios, Friday 29th March - Saturday 13th April
Pallas Projects/Studios are pleased to present Emily Waszak—The Land and Others, Including the Dead, the first exhibition of our 2024 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
The Land and Others, Including the Dead is a site-specific installation that deals with grief, loss and the ritual vernacular architecture that embeds it in the landscape. This work reflects on soft power and the role of ritual as care. Viewing ritual as a form of mutual aid that exists outside hierarchical institutional structures, the exhibition seeks to reclaim ritual as a counter to the destructive power of racial capitalism.
Inspired by grottos, shrines and other folk ritual interventions created and maintained by local communities in Japan and Ireland, the interaction of hard and soft ritual object forms in the exhibition points to the community care embodied in ritual practice, recasting the soft as strong and protective, feminine and queer. Woven thresholds hang in the space, serving as frames through which to view moving image works. Found materials and objects collected from the Irish landscape, both rural and urban, help create a narrative that grounds and situates the audience in this ritualised space.
