The exhibition opens at the Smithsonian Institution June 26, 2001 and will remain on view until January 2, 2002. The exhibition will travel to twenty cities over the next five years.

This is the first photography exhibition on the contemporary explosion in women's sports and the changes in society brought by Title IX. The exhibition will celebrate the spiritual, physical and social issues responsible for the current popularity and success of women's athletics. It features photographs by over one hundred of America's best photographers, from Annie Leibovitz to WIPI Member Patricia D. Richards to Ansel Adams.

This is a substantial and unprecedented undertaking. Here are some salient features:

Opening at the Smithsonian Institution June 26, 2001. On display at the Smithsonian's Arts & Industries Building from June 25 thru January 2, 2002.

University of Utah in Salt Lake City during the Winter Olympics in February 2002.

Dallas, Texas: Dallas Womenís Museum and Institute for the Future, April 30 thru July 28, 2002.

Exhibition consists of 135 color and black and white photographs
displayed as framed prints and freestanding structures; 7-10 minute video running on a loop.

Random House published a Game Face companion book in June 2001.
Hardcover, 224 pages, 182 photographs throughout. Printed at Mondadori in Verona, Italy.

Project MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project is a mobile exhibition of artist' book works, 'zines, and independent publications traveling across North America in a vintage Airstream trailer.

A group of coordinators are traveling with the exhibition, facilitating a series of workshops, artist talks, and educational forums about independent media.

This is a completely grassroots project started by a handful of young women artists from the U.S. and Canada. This is our first year but we hope to continue touring in the future and visiting more remote areas where art is hard to come by.

The following website has photos of the bookmobile from the NYC design group who volunteered their services for us, as well as links to our website and an article from the Philadelphia city paper:

please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to support our endeavors in any way. i hope you will be able to make it out to the bookmobile when it stops near you. and please tell your friends and forward this email to other artists and activists.

if we missed your town, please look out for us in the future.

thank you very much,

JOYCE TENNESON AND WORLD'S LARGEST CAMERA HEADLINE 'ATLANTA CELEBRATES PHOTOGRAPHY'

ATLANTA - The world's largest camera, a celebrity lecture series and photography exhibitions across the city will headline the third annual ATLANTA CELEBRATES PHOTOGRAPHY, a month-long festival of photography set for October 2001.

This is the third annual city-wide celebration of photography planned by ATLANTA CELEBRATES PHOTOGRAPHY, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization. More than 75 fine art galleries, educational institutions and public spaces are expected to feature photography by local, regional and nationally known artists during the month. In addition, planners will bring to the city celebrity photographers Joyce Tenneson, Michael Kenna, Renee Cox and Pulitzer Prize winner John Kaplan as distinguished speakers, along with writer Michael Lesy.

The Polaroid 20x24 camera - the world's largest camera at five-feet-high and 235 pounds - will be installed in Atlanta for one week. Reservations to use it to make 20"x24" original prints are available (tom@acpinfo.org). The larger-than-life instant camera, one of only five of its kind in the world, has gained acclaim for its impressive list of users, including artists Joyce Tenneson (haunting and mystical human figures), William Wegman (and his famous dogs), David Levinthal (and his Barbie dolls) and Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (celebrity portraits).

A Portfolio Review Day is set for October 13, coupled with an October 13-14 Photo Trade Show, in collaboration with the Advertising Photographers of America. Also planned are a Juried Exhibition, Photography Studio Tours, an October 20 Celebration Party and Auction and a free comprehensive city-wide Event Guide.

As an institution committed to expanding public awareness of the roles of women in history and to advancing society by advancing women, the Schlesinger Library established an exhibition program which aims to:

Exhibitors shall be responsible for the following:

1. Preparation (matting and framing) of their work.
2. Transportation of their work to and from the library, including costs of shipping and insurance (if necessary).
3. Hanging of their work (the library has a list of installers who can be called upon if necessary).
4. Preparation of captions and explanatory texts, biographical material and exhibit statement.
5. Mailing list for invitations to the opening reception, catalog or list of exhibited objects, price list.

The Schlesinger Library shall provide the following:

1. Local publicity.
2. An opening reception.
3. A standard printed invitation with or without illustration and postage for up to 400 invitations.

Viewing hours for the exhibition shall correspond to regular Schlesinger Library hours. If you are interested please contact Marie-HŽl�ne Gold at mhgold@radcliffe.edu or 617.495.8647. For further information about the Schlesinger Library please visit our website at http://www.radcliffe.edu/schles/
