Periodical Review X – the tenth in the series – will take place largely online (with a selection of work installed in the gallery). For this milestone 10th iteration of our long-running curatorial project Pallas Projects asked 20 selectors from around the country to each choose a work from the last decade that holds a particular resonance with them, alongside a short written reflection on the work and its context. Together these provide a multi-subjective survey of a 10-year period that covers a financial crash, a property bust to boom cycle, epoch-defining social transformation in Ireland in areas of same-sex marriage and abortion rights (and ongoing social ills of the homelessness crisis and Direct Provision), set against a seismic attitudinal shift in our relationship to social media and our personal information, the planetary Climate Crisis, the rise of populism around the globe, and now, a global pandemic that has fundamentally altered almost every aspect of our daily lives.
