Dear Sarai,

I am a Danish New York-based curator currently organizing the project 
LAND GRAB, which addresses artists' claiming of space/land. Among other 
events, we have created landgrabonline.org in collaboration with 
Wooloo.org where artists can submit related projects. I thought the 
project might be of interest to your community. I have included the call 
for proposals below. Feel free to post or circulate. Let me know if you 
have any questions.

All best,

Sarah


WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO CLAIM A PIECE OF LAND TODAY?

The exhibition project LAND GRAB ONLINE seeks to display artworks that 
explicitly address the naming and claiming of space.

Artists are encouraged to send in submissions including - but not 
limited to - issues of land ownership, real estate acquisitions, 
squatting on private or public property, citizenship and colonialism. 
The projects included need not occupy actual space.

LAND GRAB ONLINE is the virtual counterpart to LAND GRAB - an exhibition 
to take place at the renowned art institution APEXART in New York City 
(Nov. 7 - Dec. 22, 2007).

A planned LAND GRAB publication will include selections from both LAND 
GRAB and LAND GRAB ONLINE.

LAND GRAB is a project instigated by the curators Lillian Fellmann and 
Sarah Lookofsky.

To participate in the project, please go to landgrabonline.org.

The application deadline is September 15th, 2007 (it is possible that it 
might be extended a week). (Midnight/Pacific Standard Time.)
