&Foam launches new theme: Fashion
&Foam
Thursday, 10 January - Sunday, 24 March
2013
On Thursday, 10 January 2013, &Foam opens Fashion
&Foam: a unique combination of photography and fashion. In this
edition, &Foam presents the MOAM project, where big names and
talented newcomers in photography and design join together in one
exhibition. Iconic photos by Anton Corbijn, Erwin Olaf and Inez van
Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin provide the starting
point.
On 22 January, a festive launch will be held for
Closer, the latest book by fashion blogger Scott Schuman,
better known as The Sartorialist, who will make a personal
appearance.
During the entire month of January, a classic film will
be shown in Kriterion cinema each Monday in which the theme of
fashion plays a major role. Finally, the selection of items in
&Foam will all be geared to the fashion theme.
MOAM
MOAM is an initiative by cultural brander, curator and event
creative Martijn Nekoui. For this exhibition he has selected one
iconic image by three renowned Dutch photographers (Anton Corbijn,
Erwin Olaf and the photographer duo Inez van Lamsweerde &
Vinoodh Matadin). Fifteen talented Dutch fashion photographers were
paired with a fashion designer and responded to this iconic image
with new work: five duos responded to Corbijn, five to Olaf and
five to Van Lamsweerde & Matadin. Thus, fifteen inspiring and
creative combinations were created, as well as five different
interpretations of one and the same photo. A number of unique
fashion designs will be shown along with the photos.
The following photographers and designers collaborated for
MOAM:

Q&A and booksigning for The Sartorialist
On Tuesday, 22 January, starting at 5.30pm, a festive
evening will be held in &Foam for Closer, the new book by Scott
Schuman. Schuman, better known as The Sartorialist, has made a name
for himself in recent years with his fashion blog, capturing people
with a unique style. Schuman has now become one of the most
prominent and influential fashion bloggers in the world. Schuman
will be making a special appearance at &Foam - where the
limited edition of the book (a deluxe edition in a slipcase) - will
go on sale to do a Q&A (with Marcel Feil, Foam) and he will be
there to sign it.
5.30pm: Doors open (for Q&A)
6.00pm-6.45pm: Q&A with Scott
Schuman by Marcel Feil (Artistic adjunct director Foam)

Classics month
Throughout the month of January, Kriterion cinema in Amsterdam will
present a masterwork from film history each Monday at 10pm. This
may be an old-fashioned box-office hit or a little-known gem by a
forgotten director. Each calendar month a different theme will be
chosen. Many different directors, actors, countries, styles,
movements and genres have already been highlighted. In January
2013, Kriterion and &Foam will present a series of classics on
fashion, within the new Fashion &Foam theme. Each Monday in
January an insider from the fashion world will choose and introduce
his or her favourite film.
Programme:
Mon. 07 Jan. - Martijn Daniel Nekoui (curator MOAM)
chooses The Dreamers (2003)
Mon. 14 Jan. - Sophie van der Perre (photographer) chooses Factory
Girl (2006)
Mon. 21 Jan. - Frans Molenaar (Fashion designer) chooses Una
Giornata Particolare (1977)
Mon. 28 Jan. - Paul Bellaart (photographer) chooses Les Valseuses
(1974)
