Foam Magazine - Talent 2011

Out now: Foam Magazine #28 / Talent

Press release | Amsterdam, September 2011

Presented by Foam Magazine

A bit late, but the new issue #28 / Talent is released, last Thursday September 15.

In this fifth annual Talent issue of Foam Magazine, we highlight work from fifteen young talents in a diverse range of photographic work. The shortlist was selected from over 800 portfolio submissions to this year's Talent Call by Foam Magazine. And for this first time in five years there is an extensive exhibition in Amsterdam presenting this exceptional and yet undiscovered work.

The fifteen portfolios in Foam Magazine Issue #28 / Talent span across analogue, black and white, self-development, digital alteration and experimentation that question and confirm the limitations of the photographic medium all at once. They point to developments, trends and themes that are of particular importance to a new generation of artists and, importantly, our annual talent call allows our readers and editors to gain an accurate impression of the activities of young photographers worldwide.

The selected photographers are:
Ina Jang (South Korea), Mirko Martin (Germany), Raphaël Dallaporta (France), Katrien Vermeire (Belgium), Fleur van Dodewaard (The Netherlands), Ester Vonplon (Switzerland), Renato Abreu (Brazil), Lucas Blalock (USA), Florian van Roekel (The Netherlands), Gosha Rubchinskiy (Russia), Mayumi Hosokura (Japan), Jessica Eaton (Canada), Alessandro Imbriaco (Italy), Ivor Prickett (Ireland) and Alberto Salván Zulueta (Spain).

Exhibition Talent
New this year is an extensive exhibition associated with the Talent issue in Foam's new location at the Vijzelstraat 78 in Amsterdam from 14th of October to 31st of December. The diverse work of the fifteen artists is given the space to surprise visitors using the unique layout of this former office building.

An update on this will follow soon.
