<P>Eminent Domain examines notions of blockage, recourse and resistance
that can emerge in diverse contexts – and what it can mean when these
manifestations are channelled into artistic product.</P>
<P>This seventh collection of Dispatx Art Collective includes works
developed by visual artists, musicians, writers, dancers and performance
artists. The collection, which can be seen in Show (<A
href="http://www.dispatx.com/show/"><FONT
color=#93928a>www.dispatx.com/show/</FONT></A>), includes works developed
online as part of the site as well as submissions of completed work
related to the theme. In addition, and as a part of our ongoing
investigation of curatorial practice, the Eminent Domain forum will remain
open throughout the duration of this collection.</P>
<P>The curatorial narrative is best articulated through a correspondance
between various readings. While projects such as <EM>Hospital 106
4º1ª</EM> by Jordi Canudas and Isabel Banal and <EM>Someone Called
Me...</EM> by Emma Wilcox are the works which most directly address the
theme at hand, projects such as <EM>Green Screen</EM> by Neil Chapman and
David Stent, or Ellen Zweig’s <EM>My Language Overwhelms Her Text</EM>,
use literary fiction to generate multiple attempts and points of
inflection.</P>
<P>We are also pleased to announce the start of exploration of works
related to the theme Appropriation in Creative Practice, which can be
followed over the coming six months in Make (<A
href="http://www.dispatx.com/make/"><FONT
color=#93928a>www.dispatx.com/make/</FONT></A>). These pieces, including
works by Sandra Gamarra, Scott MacLeod, Åsa Ståhl and Adad Hannah, also
include among them the projects funded through our inaugural commissions
program. The completed collection will be published in March 2008. </P>
