Foam in the Bible Museum II, Family Ties
2 November 2012 - 28 January 2013
For the second time Foam presents an exhibition in the
Bible Museum. Under the theme for 2013,
'400 years of the canals', the Bible Museum focuses on the original
inhabitants of their property and their relationships. In this
context, Foam has selected two projects for their exhibition,
Family Ties. Family Tree is by Ringel Goslinga
and and _Willem, a documentation of youth by William
Popelier. Foam has presented earlier work by both of these
photographers in its exhibition space 3h.
The projects are characterized by a study of family ties but,
above all, their own position within it. In addition, they focus on
identity, the way it is designed and how photography contributes to
them. Both projects resulted in publications that have acquired an
important place among recently published Dutch photobooks. The
show Family Ties in the Bible Museum also plays an
important role in these publications.
