Dispatx Art Collective is now accepting proposals for full-length
collaborative projects related to the theme in exploration,
Appropriation in Creative Practice.


Contemporary artists regularly appeal to theory and philosophy as
justification, premise, or point of departure. More recently some
artists have begun to incorporate theoretical texts as a material for
their work. This treatment of philosophy, as if it were cardboard or
paint, questions perceived boundaries and dependencies between
theoretical idea and creative practice.


How can theoretical ideation and structure be appropriated by
different creative practices? What effect might this have on the
development of work or on the creative method in general? Crucially,
in what ways can ideas themselves be treated as material substances,
rather than as jumping-off points or conceptual armatures, and does
this alter their influence and status?


Full-length projects make up the majority of the Dispatx collections.
The documentation of their development is made fully visible i
