Circulate — Photography Beyond Frames

Theme

Photography has increasingly become a part of our lives; we produce and consume a constant flow of images. Also the status of photography as an art medium has shifted dramatically. The 21 artists included in Circulate use photography in unique and innovative ways, thinking beyond the frame. Their approach exceeds the technical realm; what matters is the meaning of the artwork. Carriers of the photographic image can take on myriad forms, varying from the classical photo paper to a sculpture or a three-dimensional installation.

Exhibition

Every two years, the Stedelijk Museum organizes a large group show centered on a discipline or urgent theme. The 2024 edition focuses on developments within the field of photography, a medium that is constantly evolving.
