Chris Verne, 1995 residency, Atlanta, GA
My family is from Galesburg, Illinois where I have been photographing the lives of three generations of my relatives and friends since 1984. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and now live and work in Brooklyn. I am a natural storyteller, focusing on the whole intimate truth of human narratives, and finding there some lessons about all humanity. My work is in numerous major museum collections, and has been published in many books including my 2000 self-titled monograph by Twin Palms Press, and a new Phaidon photo history entitled "Theater of the Face, Portrait Photography Since 1900" by Max Kozloff. I am also a musician, playing drums with Atlanta groups The Indigo Girls, The Rock*A*Teens, D.Q.E., and Bach on a Hook. My wife, Ani Cordero, and I have a nationally recognized Latin Rock band in Brooklyn called Cordero. My new photography book, "Family," will accompany a show at Deitch Projects in New York City in 2009/2010.
