LOSINGYOURSELF.COM is a virtual platform and blogspace for U.S. based women (and women-identified) artists, curators and art professionals exploring issues of identity and subjectivity in the 21st century. We invited postings that engaged the title’s theme of a “loss of self” from any perspective, but were especially interested in projects that addressed the intersection of new media technologies and gendered subjectivity.

This site also served as a “call for participation” for the exhibition Losing Yourself in the 21st Century. The exhibition was presented in the fall of 2009 at the Welch School Gallery, Georgia State University, Atlanta, and at Maryland Art Place, Baltimore, from February to March 2010. This exhibition features time-based, interactive, and performative work by emerging U.S. women artists. Those interested in participating in the exhibition posted to the site.

MAP | Donors and members of Maryland Art Place, along with the Maryland State Arts Council, Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts support the MAP gallery exhibition, 2010 virtual exhibition and website, and establishment of Losing Yourself project archives on the MAP site.

GSU | Funding for initial development of the project and website, as well as the 2009 presentation at GSU was provided by the Georgia State University College of Arts and Sciences Center for Collaborative and Interdisciplinary Arts, the GSU Student Activity Fee Fund and Fulton County Arts Council.
