The work of the American photographer Stephen Shore (b. 1947, New York City) has shaped contemporary photography and inspired generations of photographers. Today Shore is famed both as a chronicler of the ordinary and as a pioneer of colour photography. He has never stopped exploring the boundaries of photography, and has selected subjects that were not seen as obviously photogenic. He has switched effortlessly from black and white to colour and then back to black and white, and has experimented with a wide variety of cameras and every possible format. This exhibition covers the period 1960–2013 and shows important turning points in his career.Huis Marseille, Museum voor Fotografie Keizersgracht 401, 1016 EK Amsterdam Pays-Bas

The very first Dutch exhibition of Stephen Shore’s work was held in 1970. After a retrospective in 1997, once again his work is being exhibited in the Netherlands. This large and long-awaited retrospective contains over 200 works and will occupy all twelve of the museum’s galleries. Besides photographs the exhibition will include his postcards, video work and (scrap)books, and his Instagram account will also be projected on the museum wall. The exhibition is an initiative of the Fundación MAPFRE and was collated by Marta Dahó. After being shown at Fundación MAPFRE, Les Rencontres d’Arles and C/O Berlin, the exhibition will now be on show at Huis Marseille before going on to CAMERA in Turin.
