Date Of Production
1976
Abstract
Bowl belongs to a series of elements in the JoAnn Elam collection featuring JoAnn Elam and her coworkers from the US Post Office at the bowling alley near Logan Square where they worked. In this footage from 1976, the camera focuses on each member of the team as he or she throws the ball down the lane. Elam’s future husband Joe Hendrix was also part of the team and is visible as one of the bowlers present that night. Although Elam's intentions remain unclear, she might have intended to use this and the other elements mentioned above for a new project after she made Tai Chi Bowling (ca. 1972), which explores the physicality of bowling.
