TABITHA SOREN

Tabitha Soren (b.1967, San Antonio TX) is a photo-based artist whose photographs are held in many private and public collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty, Harvard Art Museums, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the George Eastman Museum of Photography, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Oakland Museum of California, and San Francisco’s Pier 24. Soren’s first monograph, “Fantasy Life”, published by Aperture in 2017, follows the Oakland A’s 2002 draft class for 15 years - from their first spring training to their post baseball lives, where some ended up as celebrity millionaires playing in the World Series and others struggle with poverty and homelessness. Her most recent body of work, “Surface Tension,” was exhibited last year at Wellesley’s Davis Museum and Cleveland’s Transformer Station. An expanded version of the exhibit is now on its way to the Mills College Art Museum in Oakland. It will open in collaboration with the Feminist Art Coalition ahead of the 2020 Presidential elections. Soren lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and works with Euqinom Gallery and Orth Contemporary.
