Installation view 'American Glitch' by Andrea Orejarena & Caleb Stein in Foam Talent 2024-2025

For Orejarena and Stein, the notion of glitch proves fruitful framework for reflecting on many questions, not least on the ubiquitous medium of photography and its changing meaning and purpose in the screen age – where the’ poor image’, in Hito Steyerl’s term, circulates in unfathomable quantities.

On Friday 22 June, photographer Rein Jelle Terpstra presents his new book, Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train - The People&rsquo;s View, at Foam Editions, Foam's in-house gallery.

<blockquote>
This event is full and bookings are now closed.
</blockquote>
In Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train - The People&rsquo;s View, Rein Jelle reflects on the slow train journey of the RFK funeral train, which was 50 years ago on 8 June 2018. Up to one million Americans stood along the railway, paying their respects as the train slowly made its way from New York City to Washington, D.C.
Terpstra reconstructs this important day in American history by using vernacular photographs, film stills, and the personal recollections of eyewitnesses. The book comes in custom made hard slipcase and includes 10 never before published photos of Paul Fusco, Magnum photographer, who was on the train photographing the people alongside the tracks. The book, with essays by David Levi Strauss, Taco Hidde Bakker and Rein Jelle Terpstra, will be presented during a festive event in the gallery. That evening, journalist and historian Raymond van den Boogaard will talk about the project and the book. Foam Editions is supported with products of Philips Smart All-in-One monitors. 
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Gemeente Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.

On Thursday 30 November, photographer Stephan Keppel and graphic designer Hans Gremmen from FW:Books present the new book, Flat Finish, at Foam Editions, Foam's in-house gallery. 

In Flat Finish Keppel explores and investigates the known, and unknown, structures and surfaces of New York City. By assembling a subjective database of images and reproductions of city walls, architectural references and urban structures, Keppel strips the city from its clich&eacute;d myth, and gives a new perspective on the Metropolis. Printed in special high-pigmented inks, mostly black and white, but also fluorescent colors and metallic inks, this book is questioning its own (re-) production. By doing so it becomes part of Keppel's endless loop of recycled images, works and installations. <img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/1200x831/bbf97776cb/flat_finish_28_site.jpg" width="590" height="408" /> The presentation is a cooperation between several friends of Flat Finish: poet Erik Lindner recites work, writer Taco Hidde Bakker shows a short film about New York and publisher and graphic designer Hans Gremmen, who worked with Stephan on the production of this book, gives an explanation about the making of this publication. Furthermore curator Kim Knoppers leads a short Q&amp;A with the makers. On this festive evening a special edition of the book will be presented and available to purchase: a raw, unfinished version of Flat Finish in a screenprinted, handmade box. This special edition of 25 boxes each contain two prints.
Foam Editions is supported with products of Philips Smart All-in-One monitors.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Delta Lloyd, the City of Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
