He is participating in the [[List_of_Whitney_Biennial_artists#2019|2019 Whitney Biennial]].<ref>{{cite magazine |title=2019 WHITNEY BIENNIAL ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATING ARTISTS |url=https://www.artforum.com/news/2019-whitney-biennial-announces-participating-artists-78779 |accessdate=4 March 2019 |magazine=Artforum |date=25 February 2019}}</ref>
== Artistic Practice ==
While speaking about his practice Hatleberg explained, "I feel a specific devotion to the unknown. It’s a kind of worship. When I stumble into the right person and place and feeling, I want to go all the way in and let it wash over me. In those rare moments, the world is so overwhelmingly generous; everything feels imbued with reverence and wonder."<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://hcponline.org/spot/traveling-through-the-dark/|title=Traveling Through the Dark {{!}} Houston Center for Photography|last=Brooks|first=Ashley|date=2018-09-24|website=hcponline.org|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref> Driving is an integral element to how Hatleberg creates his work and he frequently discusses this when asked about his photographic practice, "When I was a child, the only way my parents could get me to fall asleep was to put me in the car and drive around the block. Maybe it was the sound of tires on cement, or the rush of the wind pouring in that sedated me. Perhaps this is an origin story, why my work is still so much about driving." <ref name=":2">{{Cite book|last=Wolf|first=Sasha|title=Photo Work : Forty Photographers on Process and Practice|publisher=Aperture Foundation|year=2019|isbn=|location=|pages=}}</ref>
 
In a published conversation with fellow photographer Matthew Genitempo, Hatleberg noted that "Chance and accident are the foundation of my entire practice. I start out with a vague notion, aiming towards a region I’m interested in, then wait until something feels right. It’s purely visceral. I like driving long distances, looking around, making it up as I go. It’s a loose approach that favors intuitive thinking over analytical design. Then, when I finally find a place, there’s no mistaking it; there’s an undeniable atmospheric weight. I can feel it come over me. A place that’s a sure thing will almost feel like a stage." <ref name=":1" />
 
According to the artist, his photographs are intended to function as "a fiction that is more real than reality." <ref name=":2" /> Hatleberg's roadtrips are lengthy and his editing process doesn't occur until later on - "I don't look over anything until I've shot hundreds of rolls." <ref name=":2" />
 
=== American Tradition of Photography ===
During an interview with the [[Birmingham Museum of Art]] Hatleberg articulated that he identifies most with "an American tradition of photography—from [[Walker Evans]] to [[William Eggleston]]. They are my heroes, but it’s undoubtedly a different time. I think it’s essential to take from tradition without being bound to it—to author one’s own time." <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.artsbma.org/interview-with-photographer-curran-hatleberg/|title=Interview with Photographer Curran Hatleberg|last=|first=|date=|website=www.artsbma.org|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref> In 2015, Jordan Teicher wrote in Photograph,"Hatleberg’s photos succeed as [[Social documentary photography|social documentary]], but to see them only that way ignores their freewheeling poetry, and their lack of any sort of useable, concrete information." <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://photographmag.com/reviews/curran-hatleberg-higher-pictures/|title=Curran Hatleberg, Higher Pictures|date=2016-05-27|website=Photograph Magazine|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref> Hatleberg has also discussed [[fiction writing]] as an influence on his work, "After reading, everyone you pass on the street becomes fascinating or mysterious; the scenery shifts and everything seems infused with potent meaning." <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.featureshoot.com/2013/10/curran-hatlebergs-intimate-photos-of-strangers-met-on-road-trips-across-america/|title=Curran Hatleberg's Intimate Photos of Strangers Met on Road Trips Across America|last=R|first=Bryson|last2=October 4|first2=on|date=2013-10-04|website=Feature Shoot|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-11|last3=2013}}</ref>

=== Whitney Biennial 2019 ===
Hatleberg's work was recently featured in the [[2019 Whitney Biennial]]. The curatorial statement by [[Rujeko Hockley]] and [[Jane Panetta]] details, "Much of the art that we selected for the 2019 Biennial was steeped in socio-political concerns - an engagement important to us as curators - while at the same time remaining open ended and hopeful." <ref>{{Cite book|last=Panetta, Jane, Rujeko Hockley, and Ramsay Kolber|first=|title=Whitney Biennial 2019|publisher=Whitney Museum of American Art|year=2019|isbn=|location=|pages=}}</ref> [[PBS NewsHour|PBS Newshour]] reported "In a deeply divided America, the artists chosen by curators Panetta and Hockley exhibit a quieter tone than in the past.

=== Publications ===
In 2015, TBW Books published Hatleberg's first monograph, ''Lost Coast''. Throughout the series, "Hatleberg presents an episodic narrative about [[Eureka, California]]. Intimate portraits of town and people function like a collection of short stories, building to an understanding of place. The pictures live between extremes, between the grand and the granular, between the breathtaking natural landscape and the grim realities of industrial decline." <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tbwbooks.com/products/lost-coast|title=Lost Coast - SOLD OUT|website=TBWBooks|language=en|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref> Hatleberg spoke of the project and explained that "when making Lost Coast, I attempted to make pictures that communicated more what my own personal experience of that place felt like, not what the place is really like. For me, the work is more like a dream I had about a real place than a depiction of reality. There’s this incredible hubris in to trying to portray a place or a person. How can a photographer ever possibly represent a unique region, lifestyle, or person within a few pictures?" <ref name=":1" />
