Juror: Chris Verene

Chris Verene has been photographing three generations of his family, since 1984, in Galesburg, Illinois, a small town in the Midwest.  Verene has been called a natural storyteller, focusing on the whole intimate truth of human narratives.  Verene's work is in numerous major museum collections, and in 2001, was the first photographer to receive a Pollock-Krasner Fellowship.  He has been published in several books, including his 2000 self-titled monograph by Twin Palms Press, and a Phaidon photography history entitled, Theater of the Face, Portrait Photography Since 1900.  Verene is also a filmmaker and musician.  ARTFORUM praised Verene as "depicting people with a combination of respect and clarity."  Last year Verene's work was exhibited at The Tate Modern, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and The Walker Art Center.  His new photography book, "Family," will accompany a traveling solo exhibition throughout the United States in from 2010-2013. Verene is represented by Postmasters Gallery in New York City.  Verene lives and works in New York City, and is currently working on stills and a feature documentary motion picture entitled, "The Self-Esteem Salon."
