2ough he moved to New York almost a decade ago, former Atlantan Chris Verene’s photography continues to exert a
powerful sway in the city and has been one of Atlanta’s enduring success stories of a local boy made good. From Oct. 9-Nov. 4 he’llreturn to Marcia Wood Gallery in Castleberry Hill to exhibit his
work and sign copies, on Oct. 9, 6pm of his latest monograph fromTwin Palms Publications, Family , which continues the artist’stwenty five-year long mission to document his extended family
living in the economically-depressed hamlet of Galesburg, Ohio.2e pictures run the gamut from hopeful to dire, but have an
empathy and heart that makes them stick in the brain.
Celluloid Couple
Husband-and-wife creatives Whitney and Micah
Stansell have already made a mark in the city withmemorable installations at last year’s one-night-only art happening Le Flash, and exhibitions at
the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia and Whitespace Gallery. For one night only on Oct. 1,
8pm-2 am, the Stansells will screen their 15 minute
video and sound installation Between You and Me ,projected onto the Norfolk Southern Building. 2efilm is about alienation in our modern, online world.
With a cast of comely local actors, the artists exploreroles—librarian, postal worker, lover—endangered by
our newly beloved virtual reality. 2e filmic happening is sponsored by Flux ( fluxprojects.org ), a one-night only public art event that brings performance, film, dance
and sculpture to the Castleberry Hill neighborhood.
Show World
Part of ACP’s charm is how
it blankets the city with a
plethora of photo-based work
at venues from funky coffee
houses to traditional galleries.
Some of the gallery shows
worth checking out this year
include the humorously titled
Doctors of Photography
exhibition at Jennifer Schwartz
Gallery through Oct. 9
( jenniferschwartzgallery.com)featuring three medical doctors
who dabble in the form.
Buzz-worthy international
work is also on the menu
with a solo show of creepy-
provocative South African
artist Roger Ballen’s black and
white work at Jackson Fine
Art ( jacksonfineart.com), Oct.
29-Dec. 23. 2e ACA Gallery
of SCAD (scad.edu/exhibitions )
is hosting German conceptual
photographer Candida Höfer
from Sept. 10-Oct. 29 whose
work captures the depopulated
interiors of libraries, museums
and theaters. Also worth a
look, SCAD photography
professor Steve Aishman’s
show at the Atlanta
Contemporary Art Center
(thecontemporary.org ) Oct. 9
-Dec. 12 that will delve intofour bodies of the inventive
photographer’s work including
a series on dudes he deems
OK to handle his son, the
supremely sweet and tender
Pictures of Guys I Like Holding
Bill and a deliciously tactile,
occasionally lurid series
celebrating the iconic Fifties
toy, Silly Putty Rorschach.
