What's Next at Les Rencontres d'Arles
4 - 20 July 2011
What's Next?, Foam's 10th anniversary project, continues with
exhibitions and activities from 4 to 20 July at Les Rencontres
d'Arles, one of the world's most prominent and influential
photography festivals.
La Bourse du Travail
Foam's base during the festival is at la Bourse du Travail at 3,
Rue Parmentier in Arles, France. It is at the same time an
exhibition space, a working studio and a place to meet and debate
the future of photography.
On display is visionary work from Foam's collection (with work by
Danielle van Ark, Constant Dullaart, Joris Jansen, Katja Mater,
Jaap Scheeren, Anne de Vries and Vincent Zedelius) and from Foam
Magazine's annual Talent issues, reflecting a long-standing
commitment to emerging artists.
La Bourse is also a working space for students from both the
National School of Photography in Arles (L'École Nationale
Supérieure de la Photographie Arles) and the Dutch Gerrit Rietveld
Academie. Along with their presentations, visitors can enjoy a
daily zine, film interviews and radio broadcasts which explore the
question 'What's Next?' and what it means to next
generation artists.
La Roquette
In association with Regards et Memoires, What's Next? is
also present on the streets of Arles. A selection of Foam Magazine
talents from this and last year hangs on the walls of shops and
bars as well as in the streets of La Roquette.
Foam invites you to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
At July 8th 2011 from 17.30 - 20.00 at Bourse de
Travail, 3 rue Parmentier, Arles.
