Chris Carr

Christopher Carr  is the quintessential indie artist in Brooklyn; photographer, emcee,  founder of Brooklyn Wildlife (an event planning/creative firm specializing in indie/alternative art and music) and co-founder/Creative Director  of GAMBAZine .  Chris is intrigued by the history of cultural expressions, power relationships, semiotics, post-modernist sociological theory and interpersonal dynamics; all of which find their way into his art work. The majority of his projects have the intent of challenging contemporary themes relating to normalcy, deviancy, tradition and alternative culture via the platform of nude photography.  Chris uses photography as insight into aspects of culture other people may never experience or be exposed to, aspects that are prevalent, real, legitimate and meaningful nonetheless. Chris has also been an independent hip hop musician for the past 15 Years as well as an emcee, beat maker, event host and promoter while at the same time playing various roles in the creation, production and presentation of music. Chris’s work has been featured in many magazines and over a dozen art shows. His first solo art show was entitled 'Flesh: An Exploration of the Human Form,' a series of photos dealing with nudity and the human body.
