STEPHEN SHORE
May 29 – July 3, 2024
Opening reception: Wednesday, May 29, 6-8PM
303 Gallery, New York
We are please to announce 303 Gallery’s seventh solo exhibition by Stephen Shore, featuring works from his Topographies series.
Beginning in 2020, this body of photographs was shot using a drone, resulting in sharply detailed aerial views of rural and suburban landscapes. Topographies builds upon concepts Shore has examined in his large-format landscapes from the late 1970s and 1980s: pictures which uncover certain qualities intrinsic to the American vista. By employing a far-reaching, elevated perspective, Shore demonstrates how, from altitude, landforms are revealed, and conversely, how the built environment interacts with the land. In viewing these photographs, it becomes apparent that every detail of Shore’s pictures– from edge to edge, whether near or far– is as carefully considered and articulated as the next.
Shore has persistently explored new possibilities within the photographic image. Since his early practice, he has incorporated new formats and technologies, utilizing innovations as a means to achieve his own ends. Shore’s pictures seem straight forward at a glance but surprise with their ability to draw out the subtlest moments, distilling quiet sublimities from unassuming subjects.

Last year, we made the decision to embark on the extensive task of scanning every frame of Stephen’s color 35mm film rolls from 1972-1973. This endeavor encompasses the scope of his renowned American Surfaces series. While there’s still much scanning ahead, the process has already unearthed some delightful hidden treasures. We’re excited to share a curated selection of these previously overlooked photographs with you. We hope you find them as captivating as we do!
We will share more as we find them!
Hauser & Wirth Publishers, MACK, and SPBH Editions are pleased to present a day of experimental performance and film, from artists including Teju Cole, Carmen Winant, Stephen Shore, Justine Kurland, RaMell Ross, and Vince Aletti.
This program will encompass the gallery, amphitheater, and bookstore of Hauser & Wirth 18th Street. A selection of artists curated by MACK and SPBH Editions will participate in a series of twenty-minute activations from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. These will follow a variety of formats, from soundscapes to performance, correlating with each artist’s respective practice. After each there will be a book signing onsite in the gallery’s Roth Bar.
In tandem with the performance series, we will have multiple screenings of rare films, including the debut feature film by Richard Billingham, two studies of the work of Donald Judd, and a selection of Queer Shorts curated by Sam Ashby.

Modern Instances: The Craft of Photography is an impressionistic scrapbook that documents the rich and surprising touchstones that make up over half a century of ground-breaking work. With essays, photographs, stories, and excerpts that draw on Shore’s decades of teaching, this is an essential handbook for anyone interested in learning more about mastering one’s craft and the distinct threads that come together to inform a creative voice. As much as offering meditation on the influences of a single artist, Modern Instances proposes a new way of thinking about the world around us, in which even the smallest moment can become a source of boundless inspiration – if only we pay attention.
‘Modern Instances will no doubt affect how you make or appreciate photographs – it might even alter how you see.’ David Fincher
‘Modern Instances is more than just a collection of musings about a life lived in the arts. The book itself is an artwork.’ Washington Post
