In the past years I´ve done several performances on arrival terminals of international airports in Europe in the frame of my “Misplaced Women?” ongoing delegated performance series. I would like to share some of the related notes and images with you:
Aberdeen International Airport, United Kingdom, March 31, 2015
Misplaced Women? sign held by Amy Bryzgel at the domestic arrivals halls, Aberdeen International Airport, UK:
She wrote: “On March 31, 2015, Tanja Ostojic arrived in Aberdeen to give a workshop to students on “Misplaced Women?” and also participate in a Director’s Cut interview at the University of Aberdeen. She invited me to do this delegated performance when I picked her up at the airport, so of course I agreed. As the author of numerous publications on performance art, I am all for performative airport pick-ups!”

I was placing down large plastic bag with After Courbet, L´origin du monde, 46 X 55 cm photo on aluminium base. Then was unpacking my large suitcase to find long carton box with posters, as well as small parcel with books. After that I went to Vienna for Gender Check exhibition setting in MUMOK, while the driver with my three small parcels went to Bratislava…
