Increasing the volume of a vacuum in space.

Since the closest thing to a true vacuum we can find is in outer space,
would it be possible to create a particle tight chamber in space that
could be sealed and then somehow telescoped to increase the internal
volume?
Can a sealed volume be expanded in space creating a negative volume?
Could this some how create a decompressed section of space or a place
where distance is relatively larger than normal space?

Try the OTHER hand.

That's a good one.
I think I might have phrased my question improperly.
Is there a theory about artificially decompressing space?
Can a vacuum be forced beyond normal space?
I have read that the universe is expanding at FTL speeds and new space
is created.
Can a localized section of space be pulled apart or decompressed?

Great.
Thanks for the links.
I was not able to find any reference to expanding a vacuum.
Perhaps I missed something.
Is increasing the internal volume of a vacuum in violation of any
theories or principles.
