Dallas Pavilion 2019 presents a set of alternative models for cultural development and commentary highlighting the diversity of urban communities over the narrower commercial interests of corporate developers and the tourist industry.
n 2012, Michael Corris and Jasper Joseph-Lester commissioned individuals living in Dallas to submit a short text describing a specific space of cultural production within the environs of the DFW Metroplex.

The result was the 2013 Dallas Pavilion, an eighty-eight-page handbook published by Free Museum of Dallas Press and distributed free of charge during the artist and press preview week of the 2013 Venice Biennale.

Dallas Pavilion was intended to function as a virtual pavilion showcasing the cultural aspirations of Dallas and Fort Worth. In the publication, civic institutions of culture, DIY exhibition spaces, and other expressions of cultural vitality within the DFW Metroplex were given equal weight.
