Summary:
Published by Aperture in 1982 and long unavailable, Stephen Shore’s legendary Uncommon Places has influenced a generation of photographers. Among the first artists to take color beyond advertising and fashion photography, Shore’s large-format color work on the American vernacular landscape stands at the root of what has become a vital photographic tradition. Uncommon Places: The Complete Works presents a definitive collection of the original series, much of it never before published or exhibited. Like Robert Frank and Walker Evans before him, Shore discovered a hitherto unarticulated version of America via highway and camera. Approaching his subjects with cool objectivity, Shore’s images retain precise internal systems of gestures in composition and light through which the objects before his lens assume both an archetypal aura and an ambiguously personal importance. In contrast to Shore’s signature landscapes with which “Un-common Places” is often associated, this expanded survey reveals equally remarkable collections of interiors and portraits. As a new generation of artists expands on the projects of the New Topographic and New Color photographers of the seventies—Thomas Struth (whose first book was titled Unconscious Places), Andreas Gursky, and Catherine Opie among them—Uncommon Places: The Complete Works provides a timely opportunity to reexamine the diverse implications of Shore’s project and offers a fundamental primer for the last thirty years of large-format color photography.

Summary:
Des photographies de voitures, de trains, d'avions et d'autres moyens de locomotion témoignant du mode de vie des Américains. Un entretien avec Clément Chéroux sur le travail du photographe complète l'ouvrage. Figure de proue de la scène américaine, Stephen Shore a passé sa vie à photographier les paysages ruraux et urbains de son pays et à documenter leur évolution. Publié à l'occasion d'une grande exposition rétrospective à Paris, ce livre aborde le travail de Shore à travers un prisme inexploré : celui du véhiculaire. Il montre comment le photographe a utilisé les différents moyens de locomotion (voiture, train, avion et même drone) pour explorer, visiter et expérimenter le territoire, et comment ses voyages ont façonné son travail. Le territoire, thème majeur de la photographie américaine en raison de la géographie si particulière du pays et de ses grands espaces, est intimement lié à la société américaine elle-même.

Summary:
Constitué en majorité de clichés inédits datant de 1972 et 1973, Surfaces américaines donna une nouvelle dimension à la photographie documentaire. Présenté pour la première fois à la Light Gallery de New York, ce journal visuel de Stephen Shore à travers les Etats-Unis déconcerta la critique. Ses centaines d'images en couleur, traitées en toute simplicité au laboratoire Kodak du New Jersey, contrastaient vivement avec les tirages noir et blanc formels représentatifs de la photographie artistique de l'époque. En dépit d'un accueil peu favorable, l'exposition fut reprise dans son intégralité par Weston Naef, conservateur de la photographie au Metropolitan Museum de New York qui accueille aujourd'hui 220 de ses photographies. Surfaces américaines est depuis ce jour une référence incontournable en matière de description de notre univers consumériste. Marchant sur les traces de Walker Evans et de Robert Frank lorsqu'ils traversèrent eux-mêmes les Etats-Unis, ce corpus artistique ne cesse d'influence de jeunes photographes. Ce livre réuni la plus grande collection d'images de cette série et les présente pour la première fois dans l'ordre chronologique. Surfaces américaines retrace l'extraordinaire périple de Stephen Shore, qui se rendit d'abord dans le Sud profond des Etats-Unis avant de suivre la Route 66 de Flagstaff à Chicago et de revenir à New York afin de poursuivre son journal visuel dans sa ville natale.

Summary:
This volume presents the latest body of work from Stephen Shore: a series of photographs shot by drone from 2020 onwards, which reveal in arresting detail the interplay of natural and man-made landscapes in Montana, North Carolina, New York, and beyond. Shore revisits the original ambitions of the renowned 1975 exhibition ‘New Topographics’, using a new aerial viewpoint to consider afresh the concerns of the movement – the objective, the commonplace, and the relationship of the natural and man-made in the American landscape – reflecting on how these might be applied in the twenty-first century. As much as exploring the formal possibilities of the aerial photograph, this series displays a glorious dedication to detail and surprise, in which the slightest bend of a river or turn of a shadow uncovers the textures and colours of America’s urban and suburban landscapes, all investigated with Shore’s signature rigour.

Summary:
The Nature of Photographs is the essential primer of photography, not only for students but for anyone with an interest in the medium. In this book, Shore explores ways of understanding photographs from all periods and of all types - from iconic images to found photographs, from negatives to digital files. Its aim is not to explore photographic content – the subject of an image – but to describe the physical and formal attributes of a photographic print, the very elements that form the tools a photographer uses to define and interpret that content. By teaching us how to look at photographs and helping us to see the world the way the photographer may have seen it, Shore also teaches us a way of looking at the world around us.

Summary:
In 1977, Stephen Shore travelled across New York state, Pennsylvania, and eastern Ohio – an area in the midst of industrial decline that would eventually be known as the Rust Belt. Shore met steelworkers who had been thrown out of work by plant closures and photographed their suddenly fragile world: deserted factories, lonely bars, dwindling high streets, and lovingly decorated homes. Across these images, a prosperous middle America is seen teetering on the precipice of disastrous decline. Hope and despair alike lurk restlessly behind the surfaces of shop fronts, domestic interiors, and the fraught expressions of those who confront Shore’s 4x5'' view camera. Originally commissioned as an extended photographic report for Fortune Magazine in the vein of Walker Evans, Shore’s multifaceted investigation has only gained political salience in the intervening years. Shore’s subjects – including workers, union leaders, and family members – had voted for Jimmy Carter the year preceding his visit; now he found them disillusioned with the new president, fated to leave behind the Democratic party and become the ‘Reagan Democrats’. Through unfailingly engrossing images by one of the world’s acknowledged masters, Steel Town provides an immersive portrait of a time and place whose significance to our own is ever more urgent.

Summary:
Photographer Stephen Shore’s extensive travels across the United States, document the banal scenes and objects he encounters along the way. This series was made on a single day in 2013, when Shore revisited a small Arizona town he had first seen in 1972. As part of Doug Aitken’s Station to Station project, in which invited artists, writers, performers and filmmakers rode a train from New York to California, stopping at various points to stage “happenings”, Shore decided to photograph Winslow and make a slideshow at the next stop; a visual improvisation. His portrait of the sun-baked town is bleak, with boarded-up buildings, abandoned objects and lifeless streets.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage rétrospectif, accompagnant l’exposition itinérante de la Fondation Mapfre, offre la vision la plus complète à ce jour de l’oeuvre de Stephen Shore, considéré comme l’une des figures les plus influentes de la photographie contemporaine. De ses projets en couleur Uncommon Places et American Surfaces dans les années 1970 où Shore bouscule les conventions avec sa pratique de l’instantané à d’autres séries plus récentes, parfois inédites, cet ouvrage met en évidence la démarche du photographe qui ne cesse d’interroger le médium lui-même tout en effaçant le plus possible son empreinte. Un long entretien de l’artiste avec David Campany ainsi que plusieurs textes critiques dont celui de Marta Dahó, commissaire de l’exposition de la Fondation Mapfre, mettent en lumière les liens entre ces différentes séries et l’approche conceptuelle de Stephen Shore. Une chronologie détaillée et une bibliographie sélective, établies par Carlos Martín García, accompagnent ces textes.
