The most important visual art biennale in Switzerland, every two years the Festival Images Vevey presents an exclusive photography exhibition concept on façades, in parks, indoor exhibitions in unusual venues, and joint ventures with people who ensure Vevey’s status as a ‘city of images’ all year round.
Entirely free of charge, Festival Images is a true open-air museum as well as a quality platform for national and international artists. Held every two years for a period of three weeks, it enables tens of thousands of visitors to discover the best in contemporary photography.
This year the theme is “Unexpected. Le hasard des choses” and includes the work of 49 artists exhibited throughout the city. Five of Stephen Shore’s iconic photographs can be seen in a massive and stunning installation on the Façade of the Holdigaz building (as seen in the photo above)

Dialogue Photography and Flow Stephen Shore x George Miles
“American Surfaces” was a radical endeavor for its time.
In an introductory essay for Phaidon’s new monograph, critic, curator, and photographer Teju Cole writes that Shore’s famous series “was initially received with some bewilderment, before it settled into its life as an American classic.” The confusion was understandable: Shore’s pictures looked nothing like the photography style en vogue for the era that placed an emphasis on sharp compositions and “decisive moments,” as Henri Cartier-Bresson once put it…..
Watch Stephen Shore discuss metacognitive attention, Desert Island Discs, and seeing beyond the frame as part of Yale MFA Photo’s Pop-up Q&A series via zoom (started in response to online learning during the 2020 pandemic).
303 Gallery is pleased to present Stephen Shore: Instagram, a selection of works originating from the artist’s personal social media feed. Presented as unique, dye sublimation prints on aluminum, the artworks preserve the square format and spontaneity of their digital source, while establishing themselves beyond the online platform as physical objects and individual moments to consider.
For the spring 2020 rag & bone collection, Shore turns his unique perspective towards capturing quintessential New York City moments, bringing to life the timelessness of a city that is always in transit. This season he captures spring’s metropolitan muses in our iconic tees and denim.
