subRosa's second newsletter: @SecondOpinion, 1999

In 1999 subRosa collectively produced two newsletters. The entire process, including distribution, was influential in developing our later performance projects. Printed copies are now extremely rare, but images and the texts are available in an electronic version here.

Lines of Flight web site

A project initiated in conjunction with [subRosa member] Faith Wilding and Kate Davis’ two-woman discursive exhibition project, The Long Loch: How Do We Go On From Here? at the CCA, Glasgow and commissioned for Glasgow International .

In order to explore the question of how we have gone on, how we do go on now, and how we dream/ desire to go on in the future in response to a feminist heritage, artists Faith Wilding and Kate Davis have invited a wide range of co-inspiritors to select up to three starting points for feminist lines of flight in art and politics for discussion and feasting on.

Miss|Placed Women

On the occasion of the Performance Studies International Conference #15 in Zagreb, Croatia, subRosa convened a group of eminent and emerging intergenerational, international artists and scholars.Through performances, screenings, and a moderated public discussion, Miss|Placed Women combined art, activism, politics, and hospitality to explore and critique the intersections of technologies and globalization on women’s lives, bodies and work.

In this project, Tanja Ostojic enacts an everyday life activity that signifies a displacement as common to transients, migrants, and disaster refugees, as it is to the itinerant artist traveling the world to earn her living. Ostojic’s street performance continues themes of migration, desired mobility, and relations of power and vulnerability in regards to the mobile female body, found in much of her previous work.
