This program will encompass the gallery, amphitheater, and bookstore of Hauser & Wirth 18th Street.

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

REGARDING LUZZARA

Stephen Shore in conversation with Clément Chéroux


In 1993, Stephen Shore travelled to Luzzara in Italy, in the province of Reggio Emilia. He photographed the inhabitants, the streets and the landscapes as Paul Strand had done 40 years earlier with his book “Un Paese”. This project was published in the book “Stephen Shore: Luzzara 1993″ by Stanley/Barker in 2016. In this notable interview, Clément Chéroux speaks with Stephen about this essential work.

LANDSCAPE AS GRID IN STEPHEN SHORE’S
‘AMERICAN SURFACES’

by Tom Cornelius




“Stephen Shore’s road-trip series ‘American surfaces’ (1972–73) was first displayed at LIGHT Gallery, New York, but critics have tended to discuss only the book of the photographs, first published in 1999, and so have imagined the series to be a critical view of the landscapes of post-war America as sequences of undifferentiated surfaces. An examination of its original gridded installation suggests that the work might in fact have resisted narratives lamenting the flattening of daily experience.”
