For centuries, women in Amsterdam West have moved mountains: they cook for neighbours-in-need or create safe spaces for younger generations,  dedicating themselves tirelessly to build a strong foundation for their community. Even taking the lead in union strikes, standing up against inequality, or the lack of open communal spaces isn't unusual for the women of West. The contributions of women are vital to the story of the city, yet they often remain unseen. 

Following an earlier presentation at Mercatorplein, the exhibition marking International Women’s Day continues at De Hallen Amsterdam.

This exhibition is a tribute to these courageous and committed women. Together with the 

 and Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam, the district of Amsterdam West is working to change that. For this exhibition, the City Archives issued an open call for materials to be submitted. In turn, these submission will become part of the Archives, ensuring that these stories are preserved and passed on to future generations. 

Alongside the collected material photographer 

 created a series of portraits that capture the strength, determination, and quiet power of these women.

During the shortest and darkest days of the year, Gemeente Amsterdam and Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam present Visual Head, a video installation in the public space.

This year we are back at Het Stenen Hoofd with Standing in The Sun by photographer and director Viktor Naumovski.
Standing in The Sun is inspired by the emotional experience of growing up in a country in transition. It&rsquo;s an alternative narrative. This is a coming of age story focusing on a group of boys living in suburban Skopje, Macedonia. The nation&rsquo;s state of transition is explored from the boys&rsquo; perspective where masculinity and national pride are highly celebrated and admired.
<img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/595x298/80196d129f/vn_sits_stills_595x298.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="298" /> Standing in the Sun &copy; Viktor Naumovski
The film is based on a time when the real and the imaginary folded neatly into one another. The boys spent their days playing in the dirt during Macedonia&rsquo;s passage from war to westernisation.
Standing in the Sun is screened without sound at Het Stenen Hoofd.
ABOUT VIKTOR NAUMOVSKI Viktor Naumovski (b.1996) is a Macedonian photographer and director based between Skopje and London. Born into a family with no artistic aspirations whatsoever, but with a lot of love and imagination, he spent his childhood playing with his family&rsquo;s animals in the suburbs of Skopje. This led to his artistic motivation and areas of interest. Heritage, family/intimate relationships, performed identity and representation all serve as a key to his self-exploration.
Throughout his career, Naumovski has presented his works with the likes of Foam Museum, Unseen Photo Festival and Rencontres d&rsquo;Arles, and has worked on commissions for clients including Louis Vuitton, JW Anderson, Gucci and Vogue Italia.
Visual Head at Het Stenen Hoofd is made possible by Gemeente Amsterdam, District West and BeamSystems.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Foam Members, Gemeente Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.

Standing in the Sun by Viktor Naumovski

This October, Foam and ADE join forces to present the work of Boris Postma. The exhibition brings together a selection of photographs from Postma's series Planet Core, in which he captures the unique aesthetic of one of the most original subscultures of recent decades: Gabber.

Gabber music is the black sheep of the Dutch music family. A total outsider, gabber is anti-culture, a pain in the ass of the mainstream. Gabber is crude, bold and raw. Gabber is fooling around. Gabber is pain. Gabber is steel. But Gabber is also unconditional companionship, love and affiliation, honour, pride and honesty. Gabber is family.
Artist and photographer Boris Postma has experienced Gabber like few others. He discovered gabbers and hardcore fans in Japan, Italy, and Germany and was welcomed into their local scenes. He ate, slept and hakte (the accompanying dance) with his new friends, recording their lives with love and dedication. In a nuanced manner, Boris not only focuses on the sometimes extreme and sensational visual identity of this subculture, but strives to show the human side of it.&nbsp;
<img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/595x298/979055af17/ade_boris_595.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="298" /> Mizuho (left) Sofia (right), from the series Planet Core, Tokyo, Japan, 2016 (left) Turin, Italy, 2017 (right)&nbsp;&copy; Boris Postma, courtesy of the artist
ABOUT BORIS POSTMA Boris Postma (1985) lives and works in Amsterdam. In his work, Postma explores identity in a world which aggressively bombards us with pop culture, brands, and lifestyles. By studying aspects and behaviours within subcultures and social groups, Postma hopes to create understanding and recognition for those who are usually condemned. He has participated in exhibitions in Paris, Zurich, Toronto and Milan, researched the local hardcore history for Art Rotterdam, and functioned as a gabber oracle for Nike. Postma&rsquo;s editorial photography work has been published by international publications including Boiler Room, Dazed &amp; Confused, i-D Magazine, Indie Magazine,&nbsp;and Vice Magazine. In addition, he has contributed with pictures and articles to the Thunderdome 25 year jubilee book.
The prints in the exhibition are produced by Kleurgamma.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, City of Amsterdam, Foam Members, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.

ADE X Foam: Planet Core by Boris Postma

Foam proudly presents&nbsp;Fixing Shadows,&nbsp;an exhibition of the work of Eric Gyamfi (1990, GH), the artist selected by an international jury as the winner of the&nbsp;Foam Paul Huf Award 2019.
Eric Gyamfi uses storytelling to position his own past into a more universal experience of belonging. His self-portraits and quasi-diaristic installations about his own nomadic existence are deeply personal, yet transcend his individual experience. The artist employs an array of visual methods to recount memories that hover somewhere between autobiography and fiction. His work consists of collages, writings, sound and prints that were developed using various processes, such as cyanotype and screen-printing.
At the invitation of Foam, Gyamfi translated his scrapbook-aesthetic onto the museum walls. The resulting installations make us reconsider the meaning of a photographic image as a record of the truth or the externalization of personal memory. Instead, the photograph is presented as a powerful but deeply ambiguous tool to recount and reinvent stories &ndash; be they true or false.
Visit and revisit&nbsp;the work of Foam Paul Huf Award Winner Eric Gyamfi, other exhibitions and <a href="/museum/programme/for-members">events</a> as a <a href="/about/memberships">Foam Member</a>.
Eric Gyamfi is the winner of the 13th <a href="/talent/foam-paul-huf-award">Foam Paul Huf Award</a>, which is awarded annually by an international jury to talented photographers under the age of 35.
The exhibition is made possible by Kleurgamma Fine-Art Photolab.

ABOUT THE FOAM PAUL HUF AWARD The&nbsp;Foam Paul Huf Award, which is awarded annually to talented international photographers under the age of 35, includes a cash prize of &euro;20,000 and an exhibition at Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam.

Meet Foam at De Uitmarkt 2019 during the masterclass about the upcoming exhibition <a href="/museum/programme/brassai">Brassa&iuml;</a>, or participate in a workshop and win a fabulous prize.

SATURDAY 24 AUGUST Masterclass&nbsp;Brassa&iuml; - The eye of Paris by Mirjam Kooiman (Curator at Foam)
From September onwards Foam will exhibit the first retrospective of Brassa&iuml; in the Netherlands. This French photographer of Hungarian descent is considered as one of the key figures of 20th-century photography. Brassa&iuml; (1899- 1984) created countless iconic images of 1930s Parisian life. He was famous for capturing the grittier aspects of the city, but also documented high society, including the ballet, opera, and intellectuals - among them his friends and contemporaries like Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dal&iacute; and Henri Matisse.&nbsp;

Foam proudly presents 43-35 10th Street an exhibition of the work of Daniel Shea (1985, US), who is selected by an international jury as the winner of the Foam Paul Huf Award 2018.

Daniel Shea was awarded the twelfth Foam Paul Huf Award for his work in which he presents a seductive and disconcerting world of concrete, steel and glass, which traverses the boundaries of fact and fiction.&nbsp;His cityscapes are poetic and timeless, yet they address the very real effects of capitalism on the urban landscape &ndash; and society at large. The title of his latest project 43-35 10th Street refers to his studio address in Long Island City: a residential neighbourhood in New York City that is rapidly gentrifying. However, Shea&rsquo;s construction wastelands could have been (and in fact were) photographed anywhere in the world. Layering photographs from different times and places, the series transcends the local scale and addresses developments that affect cities globally.
<img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/510x708/d1b750371c/lic_7_from_the_series_43__35_10th_street_2017_c_daniel_shea.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="826" />Lic 7, from the series 43 &ndash; 35 10th street, 2017 &copy; Daniel Shea
Shea&rsquo;s belief that the built environment profoundly affects society, and vice versa, also informs his own practice. He often lets his compositions bleed onto their mount, or etches architectural blueprints into the glass of the frame. This deliberate use of materials gives his work an almost sculptural quality and emphasises the incongruity between an imagined utopia, and a sometimes dystopian reality.
Visit and revisit&nbsp;the work of Foam Paul Huf Award Winner Daniel Shea, other exhibitions and <a href="/museum/programme/for-members">events</a> as a <a href="/about/memberships">Foam Member</a>.
Daniel Shea is the winner of the 12th <a href="/talent/foam-paul-huf-award">Foam Paul Huf Award</a>, which is awarded annually by an international jury to talented photographers under the age of 35.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Gemeente Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
ABOUT DANIEL SHEA Daniel Shea (b. 1985, USA) gained an MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago after following a BFA at Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD (2007).&nbsp;Approaching his subjects with intelligence, Daniel likes to immerse himself in their world, bringing out the specifics of a location and its humanity.&nbsp;Daniel is intrigued and energized by the density and chaos of the city. In his personal projects, he has addressed urbanization and industry, and particularly the effects of their decline on landscape and community. Shea lives and works in New York.&nbsp;

Foam proudly presents The Following is a True Story, an exhibition of the work of Romain Mader (1988, Switzerland). Mader was chosen by an international jury as the winner of the Foam Paul Huf Award 2017.

Mader won the Foam Paul Huf Award for his series Ekaterina, depicting the search for a bride in a fictitious city in the Ukraine. The series is part of the exhibition, which consists of several projects that jointly form a narrative about a naive young man in search of happiness. Mader plays with the tension between reality and fiction. His work stands out for the humour and irony with which he addresses serious topics such as loneliness, love, exploitation and the female body. Beneath the seeming superficiality of his images, his work contains many layers that can be interpreted in various ways.
<img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/595x298/1d2351bbb5/installationshot_romain_mader.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="298" />Installation shot, 2017 &copy; Christian van der Kooy
Mader plays a subtle game with what we believe to be true &ndash; a game with which he confronts us with our own assumptions and prejudices. In this day and age, of &lsquo;fake news&rsquo; and idealised user profiles on social media, Mader&rsquo;s work demonstrates that the frequently asked question about the truthfulness of photography is still a relevant one.
ABOUT ROMAIN MADER Romain Mader (1988, Switzerland) studied photography at ECAL in Lausanne, Switzerland, and will complete his Master&rsquo;s in Fine Arts in Z&uuml;rich this year. He came to international attention after his work was featured in the 2016 group exhibition Performing for the Camera in London&rsquo;s Tate Modern. This coincided with the publication of the book Ekaterina (M&ouml;rel Books). Mader&rsquo;s work has been included in several international group exhibitions, and he has also had a number of solo exhibitions in his home country of Switzerland. Foam is now hosting his first international solo exhibition. Starting in 2012, Mader has regularly collaborated with artist Nadja Kilchhofer.
This exhibition is made possible by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Delta Lloyd, Gemeente Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
<h2>More information</h2>
The Following is a True Story offers a chronological overview of Romain Mader&rsquo;s attempts to find happiness. In the series Moi Avec Des Filles (2009), Mader tries to create the impression that he is quite a ladies&rsquo; man by posing with attractive hostesses at a car show. In De Nouveaux Amies (2011) he undertakes very awkward attempts to make new friends by posing with apparently random groups of people on the beach. He then decides to take serious action by deploying a &lsquo;wingman&rsquo; to help him get a girlfriend, as depicted in the slide show The Girlfriend Experience (2012-17). After a brief affair with Priscillia, it is time to find a female companion fit to be his wife. The series Ekatarina shows the episode in which he travels to the fantasy city of Ekatarina, which is mysteriously inhabited by only women who are all named Ekatarina. After he finds his own Ekatarina, he asks her to marry him at the foot of the Matterhorn in his home country of Switzerland. In addition to the photographs, the story is also told by means of a video consisting of a slide show with the artist&rsquo;s voice-over, reporting on his amorous adventure. The exhibition ends with his most recent work, Honeymoon (2017): a video documenting his honeymoon in which Mader promises his brand new wife a two-week stay in a honeymoon suite, but in the end the couple spend three months travelling like hillbillies through an economically ravaged Greece. FOAM PAUL HUF AWARD The Foam Paul Huf Award, which is awarded annually to talented international photographers under the age of 35, includes a cash prize of &euro;20,000 and an exhibition at Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam. The jury has chose Romain Mader as the winner out of 100 nominees from 26 countries. Previous winners include Taryn Simon (2007), Alex Prager (2012), Daniel Gordon (2014) and Daisuke Yokota (2016).

Erik Kessels has a preference for the imperfect and the incomplete. His latest book The Many Lives of Erik Kessels is the highly anticipated first illustrated survey of the curator, editor, artist and publicist.

It&rsquo;s a mid-career retrospective on how to look - and how to better understand the hybrid practice of this artist who defies categorization. Kessels' varied experiments with photography and photographic archives have allowed reconsidering the medium&rsquo;s vernacular and narrative possibilities.&nbsp;

The Many Lives of Erik Kessels, 2017, &euro; 60,-
On 11 May the official Dutch book presentation and signing will be held at Foam accompanied with a lecture by the author. You are welcome&nbsp;from 18.30 hrs onwards. &nbsp;&nbsp;
