The Biographical Landscape exhibition offers
an opportunity to revisit the works of Stephen Shore, one of
the most prominent and influential American photographers to
emerge in the last half-century. Focusing on “Uncommon
Places”—Shore’s essential series on the American
vernacular landscape produced between 1973 and 1982—The
Biographical Landscape provides an opportunity to reexamine
this work in the context of his broader oeuvre, unearthing the
conceptual underpinnings that inform his work throughout. The
exhibition will use the occasion of Aperture’s expanded
edition titled Uncommon Places: The Complete Works to showcase
this important body of work. Philip Gefter in the New York Times
(July 4, 2004) said, “…while the work in “Uncommon
Places” is firmly grounded in a serious documentary tradition,
the pictures are as much about pure discovery.”
