Most of Gallagher's works attempt to forge new relationships to the concept of authorship by accommodating for the unpredictability of the social. There are two ways he invests energy into these fields: one is by assuming the role of the choreographer and proposing speculative models for exchange, the second and often simultaneous position is that of a participant in the shaping and activation of other “choreographic” models. In both instances, either on a platform Gallagher constructs or a platform he inhabits, the net that he build or the net he throws himself into, there is always an attempt to create something that does not end when he leaves it, but lives and breaths through a reinvigoration and reincorporation into various modalities and contexts. For Gallagher, this act of movement - essentially the idea that nothing is ever finished but always an ongoing process - opens a space for new thought, it opens up a territory, a territory similar to a non site or an interzone, for him this is the politics of inbetweeness. Gallagher's current research interests involve the exploration into zones of indeterminacy and their relationship to the concept of ownership.
