Get to know the work from On Earth – Imaging, Technology and the Natural World straight from the artists themselves. Filmed at home or in their studio’s, they explain their works featured in the exhibition and tell us about the techniques or processes they’ve used.

Now spring has started and we are all at home waiting, working or studying. It takes adjustments and creativity to make it through the day. Inspired by @tussenkunstenquarantaine and past Foam workshops, each week we'll challenge you to reinterpret an artwork from the collection or exhibitions in your own way.
Take care and immerse yourself in the Foam Magazine digital archives. Sign up to access 50+ magazine editions digitally including many sold-out issues. This is a limited time offer to keep you company.

This spring we’re presenting the colorful works of Vivian Maier in the new exhibition Works in Color. The exhibition shows street scenes in Chicago, where Maier lived for much of her live. Her work in color seems altogether playful and tongue in cheek. In the run-up to the reopening of Foam, Vivian Maier's work will be on show in various ways through an online program.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, City of Amsterdam, Foam Members, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
