RENTAL GALLERY PRESENTS Tabitha Soren Artist Talk & Book Signing Monday, August 14, 4 PM 87 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, NY On Monday, August 14, at  4pm , Rental Gallery, in collaboration with the Aperture Foundation, is pleased to present an artist talk and book signing with Tabitha Soren, whose  Fantasy Life  was released this April to critical acclaim. In 2002, Soren first began photographing a group of minor league draft picks for the Oakland A’s—young men coming into the major league farm system straight from high school or college. Since then, she has followed the players through their baseball lives, an alternate reality of long bus rides, on-field injuries, friendships and marriages entered and exited, constant motion, and very hard work, often for very little return.

The struggle is real, and it is every day, but because of these three I can keep going. Without them I have nothing to speak about, nothing to sell.
