Dyad
Curated by Aoife O’Toole and pairing the ideas of young artists Dáinne Nic Aoidh and Eve Parnell, Dyad seeks out the uncanny, to invert the decidedly man-made and bunker-like surroundings of the Pallas, and to induce fear and enchantment in the viewer at the same time. Nic Aoidh plays with lights and mirrors to create a space of comforting darkness in collaboration with experimental electronic musician Ed Devane who has created a sounds for her piece. You might want to take refuge in this after Parnell’s work, which gives the full unheimlich effect. Featured in le cool last year with her Grasshopper show, she has returned to the garden as a subject and put a commonly repulsive creature in an arid, urban environment (without giving away the surprise and spine-crawling effect). Full of intriguing twists. / Neasa Malone
