On Thursday, 15 May, Foam Editions is hosting the celebratory launch of 

, Jackie Mulder's first artist book. The book reflects on the possibilities of healing pathways and our essential relation with landscape and the natural world. Imagined as a possible trail unfolding through the pages, the sequence and treatment of the images invite the viewer to step into another world, be amazed, and make their own story.

During the evening, curator, editor, and writer 

will open the programme with a few words, followed by a Q&A between Foam Editions gallery manager Lotte Klösters and the artist, 

 they will discuss the making of the book and the content of her work.

What if ice that has been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years could be used to predict the future of our climate?&nbsp;The series 'Climate Archive' by photographer Suzette Bousema employs tubular samples of ice from Antarctica and Greenland as a tool for observing climate change.&nbsp;By exploring how tangible objects serve to improve our understanding of unobservable concepts such as global warming, these objects not only become tools for scientific research, they become tools of wonder and enlightenment.
