Maryam, 2020, Leave and Let Us Go

Mosul University, 2020, Leave and Let Us Go

Twenty years ago 9/11 took place, leading the United States to announce its 'War on Terror' and involving Iraq in an ongoing conflict. This war was deemed as the first 'smartphone war' due to the introduction of the smartphone as an object of mass consumption in 2007. The widespread use of digital cameras enabled millions of users to capture the conflict from angles which had previously been out of sight. What formerly had been the domain of photojournalists and governmental agencies, became a limitless stream of images shared on the internet. This gave digital media a vital role in portraying the confrontation's countless layers.

Foam Talent 2020

Foam presents the exhibition Foam Talent 2020, with works from a new generation of visual artists at Kuhlhaus Berlin from 22 October - 1 November.

Each year, Foam invites photographers to submit their portfolios via the <a href="/talent/foam-talent-call">Talent Cal</a>l, an international search for exceptionally talented photographers under the age of 35. Selected photographers gain international exposure and recognition within the photography industry through a number of career-building opportunities offered by Foam, including publication in Foam Magazine, participation in a travelling group exhibition and the opportunity for their work to be added to the prestigious Art Collection Deutsche B&ouml;rse of the Deutsche B&ouml;rse Photography Foundation in Frankfurt.
EXCEPTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY TALENT This year 19 artists were selected as Foam Talents 2020: A&agrave;desokan (Nigeria), Sofia Borges (Brazil), Adji Dieye (Senegal/Italy), Rahima Gambo (Nigeria), Karla Hiraldo Voleau (France/Dominican Republic), Beno&icirc;t Jeannet (Switzerland), Luther Konadu (Canada/Ghana), Matthew Leifheit (United States), Douglas Mandry (Switzerland), Philip Montgomery (United States), Camillo Pasquarelli (Italy), Simone Sapienza (Italy), Micha Serraf (Zimbabwe/South Africa), Hashem Shakeri (Iran), Gao Shang (China), Kamonlak Sukchai (Thailand), Guanyu Xu (China/United States), Yorgos Yatromanolakis (Greece), Alba Zari (Italy/Thailand).
These exceptional young photographers were selected out of 1.619 received submissions from 69 countries. Their portfolios were published in the internationally distributed Foam Magazine #55: Talent. Subsequently Foam will now present their work in a travelling group exhibition.

PORTRAIT Although Foam Talent symbolizes a rich range of genres and uses of photography, the edition of Foam Talent 2020 is characterized by (sometimes lengthy) research, in which the role of the portrait is a recurring theme. Where Alba Zari tries to construct a portrait of her unknown biological father through old family photos and computer technology, Luther Konadu's work is a reflection of the photographic portrait itself: through cutting and pasting he investigates the construction of identity.
Adji Dieye responds to economically determined stereotypes and traditional roles by reinventing an African tradition of studio portrait photography. Karla Hiraldo Voleau distorts fact and fiction and undermines the male gaze through selfies and intimate portraits of her Latin lovers. The diverse series and artworks in Foam Talent 2020 show individuals and communities that have long remained invisible or in the margins, exploring who we are and how we see ourselves in a constantly changing reality: between the analogue and the digital, between myths and belief systems, between the private and public and between fact and fiction.

Foam Talent | Berlin

This event has been cancelled in light of the new cautionary health regulations. More information can be found in our <a href="/about/press-office/measures-due-to-the-coronavirus">news update</a>.
Following the opening of On Earth - Imaging, Technology and the Natural World, Foam will be exploring the future of landscape photography followed by a curator's tour in the presence of the artists.

Technological developments and the rapidly changing climate have altered our relationship to nature. Photography offers a means of observing the world and our effect upon it, but can it also act as a catalyst in adopting new ways of relating to the environment?
On the occasion of the exhibition On Earth &ndash; Imaging, Technology and the Natural World these and other questions will be discussed in artist panels that will centre around three important trends in contemporary landscape photography. Foam invited a number of artists -part of the exhibition On Earth&nbsp;- who use innovative visual strategies to examine how technological development has fundamentally changed the relationship between man and nature. They do so using the same modern imaging technologies through which we increasingly experience the world: often digitally and mediated by our screens.
The programme will be opened by Foam director Marcel Feil, and moderated by exhibition curator Hinde Haest. The panel discussions will be followed by a curator&rsquo;s tour in the presence of the artists.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION <a href="/museum/programme/on-earth-imaging-technology-and-the-natural-world">On Earth &ndash; Imaging, Technology and the Natural World</a> unites the work of 27 contemporary artists who use innovative visual techniques to reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and nature. Besides photography, the artists make use of installation, sculpture, in-game photography and video. Their various visual approaches diverge and converge throughout the exhibition. These artists show they both seek to explore and reunite our technological, socio-economical, spiritual and political connection with the world.
On the future of landscape photography, Friday 20 March from 16.30 hrs onwards.&nbsp;

Cancelled - On the future of landscape photography

For the second installment of the Adorned public program, Foam is directing the spotlight on the Platforms that produce fashion visuals.

If fashion photography is proving to be an incredible vehicle for channeling a variety of social and political issues, then what kind of role do platforms have as facilitators?
The production of images is deeply tied to their circulation, the environment in which they are created and the audience. Traditional fashion outlets followed the wave made possible by the digital revolution, while creatives were the ones making the change happen. In order to make a lasting impact on the industry and on the way we communicate and consume fashion, they needed to join forces and shaped platforms safeguarding theirs and the makers&rsquo; visual identities.
Who are the actors producing and publishing contemporary fashion&rsquo;s visual products? In what way are those involved in the production making bundling together in order to re-direct the constantly changing landscape? Foam will discuss these questions together with Andile Buka (The Sartists), and Chiara Bardelli Nonino (Vogue Italia).
<a href="/museum/programme/adorned-the-fashionable-show"><img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/595x298/41e5f44dec/untitled_from_the_series_boys_of_hong_kong_2018_c_alexandra_leese_courtesy_of_the_artist_595x298.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="298" /></a> Untitled, from the series Boys of Hong Kong, 2018 &copy; Alexandra Leese/ courtesy of the artist
During the event, the focus will lie on a few examples of the different platforms actively changing and challenging the panorama of fashion. Together with guests coming from the artistic domain, publishing industry and agencies, we'll discuss various platforms, the ways in which they were built and the unique types of content they are championing &ndash; often surprisingly bringing together fashion and social change.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION <a href="/museum/programme/adorned-the-fashionable-show">Adorned &ndash; The Fashionable Show</a> presents intriguing and challenging fashion related photography projects created by a new generation of visual artists. They all work with fashion, but most of them are not straightforward fashion photographers. For them, fashion and style are primarily tools to construct or question identities, to empower people and to play with cultures, gender, race and ages.

Club Foam, Foam Family & Fan+ workshop Brassaï

On Thursday 26 September, Foam invites you to an evening around the work of Dominic Hawgood. With a live performance by Tripping Jaguar.

ATTENTION: This event is sold out In his solo exhibition Casting Out The Self, Hawgood combines the rituals of spiritual ceremonies with the instruments used for the construction of our digital reality. Employing the latest technologies in computer graphics to give shape to the hyperreal, Hawgood seeks to question our perception of reality.
With a background in both Cognitive Neuropsychology and Art Studies, Ph.D.-researcher Nim Goede will reflect on the viewing experience of Dominic Hawgood&rsquo;s work, in between what one sees and what one thinks or expects to see. This short lecture will be followed by a Q&amp;A between Dominic Hawgood and Foam curator Mirjam Kooiman about his artistic practice. The evening will be concluded with a performance by Trippin Jaguar. Where psychedelics informed Hawgood&rsquo;s exhibition Casting Out The Self, Trippin Jaguar takes the same inspiration to create music. His performance will be an artistic response to Hawgood&rsquo;s work.

ABOUT NIM GOEDE Nim Goede is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Amsterdam and a core member of the Neurocultures &amp; Neuroaesthetics research group at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis. With a Research Master degree in both Cognitive Neuropsychology and Art Studies, he adopts a humanities perspective to reflect on neuroculture through the lens of the arts. He explores the ways in which particular artworks allow us to re(con)figure our neural self-image. In addition, he is a writer and editor for the contemporary art magazine Metropolis M and a lecturer at the Vrije Academie.
ABOUT TRIPPIN JAGUAR Francesco Robustelli is a Dutch/Italian music producer, composer and sound designer. Under the alias Trippin Jaguar, Francesco explores the deeper side of electronica as well as breaking down cultural barriers in the electronic music scene by combining electronic music with influences from shamanic rituals and traditional psychedelic medicine. Trance, spirituality and the boundaries of the human experience play an important role in the work of Trippin Jaguar. In the approach of music as a way to transform consciousness, he combines traditional knowledge of sound healing with the newest technologies. He not only performs on stage but also works on immersive audio installations and transformative music projects.
ABOUT DOMINIC HAWGOOD Dominic Hawgood&rsquo;s work is based on photography, but he concentrates on site-specific installations. His work comprises both moving and stationary images, for which he increasingly uses digital media. Since graduating from London&rsquo;s Royal College of Art in 2014, Hawgood has had solo exhibitions at TJ Boulting, London; Oonagh Young Gallery, Dublin; and the Digital Festival X British Science Festival in Brighton. In 2014 he won the British Journal of Photography International Award. In 2015 he was selected as Foam Talent and his project Under the Influence was included in the traveling Foam Talent exhibition. Dominic Hawgood lives and works in London.
Next Level: Dominic Hawgood &ndash; Casting Out the Self is made possible by Ammodo and the Gieskes-Strijbis Fonds. Foam thanks Stichting Foam Friends and Foam Fund for their generous support of this exhibition.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, City of Amsterdam, Foam Members, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
NEXT LEVEL Since the autumn of 2015, Foam presents the exhibition series&nbsp;Next Level, with the support of Ammodo. The series is aimed at introducing the wider public to innovative art by relatively young artists who are making radical new use of the medium of photography.

Unseen Amsterdam | Foam tips

Inspire yourself with Brassa&iuml;'s street photography and learn how to capture Amsterdam during dusk.

ATTENTION: This event is sold-out.
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.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP The workshop starts with a participatory tour through the exhibition of Brassa&iuml;, during which you will get inspired by the theme and work ethic of the photographer. Inspired by this tour, you will then start working on the assignment of the workshop. Within the themes of Brassa&iuml;, you will photograph in black and white and discover the still life, people in caf&eacute;s and street scenes during Brassa&iuml;s&rsquo; most loved time of the day. During the workshop you will be guided by a professional museum teacher. The workshop will finish with showing and discussing each other&rsquo;s results. You can choose your best results and have a few options on printing them. All results will be sent to you digitally and of course you can take your analogue work with you.

Official opening: Dominic Hawgood & Kévin Bray

On Thursday 20 June, Foam Editions will present the highly anticipated book High up close by, which is part of the special edition Inside, by Misha de Ridder.

It is the tactility of the walls and the diversity of shapes of the Oude Kerk that De Ridder explores with his digital high resolution technical camera. In order to bring you closer to the seven hundred years of hands that constructed and altered the Oude Kerk he made very detailed photographs of the surface of the white paint on the walls that lights up at the touch of the soft Dutch daylight falling through the tall Gothic windows. He then makes gicl&eacute;e prints on Hahnem&uuml;hle Ultra Smooth matte paper with a strong sensation of ink on paper in order to intensify the painterly quality of the work. The special edition of this book was already for sale at Foam Editions, and now we can complete it with the book.

Book presentation Misha de Ridder

As part of the Next Level exhibition series, Foam presents the work of multi-disciplinary artist Dominic Hawgood (1980, UK).

In this exhibition, titled Casting Out the Self, Hawgood visualises the effect of the drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which he personally experienced as a transfer into the digital realm. His work creates a hallucinatory effect: photographs seem to move, flat surfaces reveal hidden depths, and the perception of space turns out to be an illusion. Hawgood researches and appropriates elements of computational photography into his work, leading into intriguing site-specific installations and sculptural elements that refer to both spiritual ceremonies and the digital rituals of computer graphics. Through lighting design, Hawgood creates a unique atmosphere that transforms the exhibition space into a twilight zone between physical and digital reality. Hawgood not only pushes the boundaries of the medium of photography but also expresses a highly innovative approach to exhibition design.
<img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/595x397/a4c1f8df57/1z9a2929_retouched_8bit_595.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="397" /> Dominic Hawgood - Casting Out the Self, 2019 &copy; Dominic Hawgood
In the ceremonial atmosphere of the exhibition, spirituality is endowed with digital features so that digital reality also appears to be idolised. In this way, Hawgood accurately captures the ambivalence of the digital world we live in: the magic of infinite possibilities contrasts sharply with our brief attention span, information overload, persistent distraction, loneliness and seclusion.
NEXT LEVEL Since 2015, Foam presents the exhibition series Next Level, with the support of Ammodo. The series is aimed at introducing the wider public to innovative art by relatively young artists who are making radically new use of the medium of photography. After the first series in which four Dutch artists were presented Dominic Hawgood is the first international artist in the follow-up series of Next Level.
Next Level: Dominic Hawgood &ndash; Casting Out the Self is made possible by Ammodo and the Gieskes-Strijbis Fonds. Foam thanks Stichting Foam Friends and Foam Fund for their generous support of this exhibition.&nbsp;
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, City of Amsterdam, Foam Members, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
ABOUT DOMINIC HAWGOOD Dominic Hawgood&rsquo;s work is based on photography, but he concentrates on site-specific installations. His work comprises both moving and stationary images, for which he increasingly uses digital media. Since graduating from London&rsquo;s Royal College of Art in&nbsp; 2014, Hawgood has had solo exhibitions at TJ Boulting, London; Oonagh Young Gallery, Dublin; and the Digital Festival X British Science Festival in Brighton. In 2014 he won the British Journal of Photography International Award. In 2015 he was selected as Foam Talent and his project Under the Influence was included in the travelling Foam Talent exhibition. Dominic Hawgood lives and works in London.

Official opening: Changing Views & Lilian Kreutzberger

From 3 May, Foam presents the elusive and mysterious work of Lilian Kreutzberger in the Foam 3h exhibition Whiteandgold &amp;&amp; Blackandblue.

Lilian Kreutzberger&nbsp;(1984, Netherlands) is trained as a painter but in her conceptual projects, she combines photographic techniques with other media such as sculpture and architecture. In her project Whiteandgold &amp;&amp; Blackandblue, the artist investigates the experience of material and space in the digital domain. Her multimedia work, which has a strong photographic dimension, is elusive and mysterious, and at the same time very tangible. Foam 3h displays a combination of reliefs, sculptural works and collages.

The Mai Man&oacute; House presents the exhibition Back to the Future. The 19th Century in the 21st Century. 

Spanning a dialogue between contemporary positions and those of the nineteenth century, the exhibition Back to the Future displays what the photographic medium was, what it is, and what it will be in the near future.&nbsp;
<img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/1697x1302/18358b1d30/ferns_i__working_collage_c_karl_blossfeldt.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="457" /> Ferns I, Working collage, before 1928 &copy; Karl Blossfeldt Archiv / Stiftung Ann und J&uuml;rgen Wilde, Pinakothek der Moderne, M&uuml;nchen
The current position of photography has much in common with the early years of the medium, when experiments with new photographic techniques were carried out on a grand scale. In a spirit of openness, excitement, freedom, curiosity and non-conformity, the nineteenth century pioneers of photography experimented with the technological and visual potential of the medium. They tested various methods and processes, but these were far from fully developed. Innovators with different backgrounds and from a variety of disciplines were looking for the best ways to capture the world. Taking pleasure in the making of images, and with a similar drive for experimentation, these early photographers shared a common mentality with many artists today.
The contemporary artists selected for the exhibition Back to the Future all use the foundations of photography: light, darkroom and chemistry, but in a non-traditional way. Each artist honours the history of the medium of photography by experimentally re-inventing it. The image is considered a material object with its own texture regardless of whether it is an analogue or digital object.
This exhibition is an initiative of Foam in collaboration with C/O Berlin, Germany.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, City of Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.

Back to the Future | Maí Manó House

On Thursday evening 6 December, the artists will guide you through their artistic practices, using their new work Forest on Location as a demonstration. With live performances by Shahram Yazdani.

ATTENTION: this event is sold out
Persijn Broersen and Margit Luk&aacute;cs create works built on illusions. Their video works stimulate our fantasy, but at the same time the artists reveal how their images are constructed.&nbsp;At Foam&rsquo;s request, the duo developed a new three-part installation of sculptures and projections in which Europe&rsquo;s only remaining primeval forest, Białowieża Forest, is analysed and dissected as a construct of the human imagination. In Forest on Location, the avatar of the Iranian opera singer Shahram Yazdani walks through a virtual forest &ndash; in fact a digital copy of the Białowieża Forest &ndash; while singing a song about how an old tree once addressed him.
<img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/3000x1800/1791367691/new_forest_on_location_04_video_still_2018_c_broersenlukacs_courtesy_of_akinci_3000x1500_px_exhibition_header.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="357" /> Forest On Location (Video Still), 2018 &copy; Broersen &amp; Luk&aacute;cs / Courtesy of AKINCI
During the event, the avatar will step out of his digital world, and Yazdani will give a performance in physical form. Many in the audience will recognise the melody of the song as Nat King Cole&rsquo;s 1948 hit song, Nature Boy, written by Eden Ahbez. The song fits with how Broersen and Luk&aacute;cs use nature as a case study to investigate our visual culture; but then the melody also turns out to have been composed by Herman Yablokoff, a Yiddish composer who was in fact from the area of Białowieża Forest. Besides Yazdani&rsquo;s Persian reinterpretation he will also perform Nat King Cole&rsquo;s famous song.
In this lecture performance, the artists will offer an insider&rsquo;s view of the background to and creation of Forest on Location. Using this video work as an example, Persijn Broersen and Margit Luk&aacute;cs will discuss the role of film music, photography, cinematography, the process of image consumption, and how they reflect on the construction of today&rsquo;s visual culture in their own artistic practice.

How to Construct a Fairytale

Get inspired by the visual language of Broersen &amp; Luk&aacute;cs and create your own unique image.

In their work, Broersen &amp; Luk&aacute;cs investigate the relationship between humankind and nature. The duo has made a three-part installation especially for this exhibition, which will be exhibited for the first time together with other renowned works consisting of video footage, installation and graphic work.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP The workshop starts with a participatory tour through the exhibition of Broersen &amp; Luk&aacute;cs, during which you will get inspired by the theme and work ethic of the artists. Inspired by this tour, you will then start working on the assignment of the workshop. Through the mindset and work method of the artists you will reflect upon your immediate surroundings. Investigate how, based upon your own experience, humankind relates itself to nature and more specifically the urban environment of the city center of Amsterdam. You will start by making a portrait of a passer-by whilst focusing on the background. Based upon this portrait you will come up with additional sceneries, which you will record as photographs. Together with the portrait, you will create your own analogue visual story, by combining these prints along the work ethic of Broersen &amp; Luk&aacute;cs. <img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/6024x3051/7a8560922b/persijn-broersen-margit-lukacs-establishing-eden-2016-full-hd-film-10-min-courtesy-akinci-amsterdam.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="301" /> Establishing Eden (Video Still), 2016 &copy; Broersen &amp; Luk&aacute;cs / Courtesy of AKINCI
The workshop will finish with showing and discussing each other&rsquo;s results. That way you learn from each other and you can begin to recognize your own style. All results will be sent to you digitally and of course you can take your analogue work with you. SIGN UP There is a limited amount of spots available, so be sure to sign up in time.

Workshop: Broersen & Lukács

You are invited to join us on 22 November for the public opening of two new exhibitions: 

NEXT LEVEL: PERSIJN BROERSEN &amp; MARGIT LUK&Aacute;CS - POINT CLOUD, OLD GROWTH<a href="/museum/programme/persijn-broersen-margit-lukacs"><img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/2362x2362/180577010e/point_cloud_2018_c_broersenlukacs_courtesy_of_akinci.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="595" /></a> Point Cloud, 2018 &copy; BroersenLukacs Courtesy of AKINCI
As part of the exhibition series Next Level, Foam presents the first major solo exhibition by Persijn Broersen (Delft, 1974) and Margit Luk&aacute;cs (Amsterdam, 1973). In their monumental works, photography serves as a basis for the virtual dimensions they construct. In today&rsquo;s visual culture, fiction is usurping the place of reality. Broersen and Luk&aacute;cs respond to this trend by creating video animations presenting a parallel world of spectacular images that wholly absorb the viewer: true-to-life projections of tree trunks that melt into digital pixels, virtual images of wilderness, a succession of breath-taking landscape scenes that endlessly tumble along after each other, or a fluttering cloth that morphs into a landscape.&nbsp;

DANIEL SHEA -&nbsp;43&ndash;35 10TH STREET <a href="/museum/programme/daniel-shea"><img src="https://a.storyblok.com/f/113697/2026x2806/c409e07c4b/lic20_with_frame_from_the_series_43__35_10th_street_2017_c_daniel_shea_-_kopie.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="824" /></a> LIC20, From the Series 43&ndash;35 10th Street, 2017 &copy; Daniel Shea
The work of Daniel Shea (b. 1985, USA) presents a seductive and disconcerting world of concrete, steel and glass. His cityscapes are poetic and timeless, yet they address the 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. Layering photographs from different times and places, the series transcends the local scale and addresses developments that affect cities globally.&nbsp;
The exhibition is on view at Foam until 27 January 2019.

Exclusively for Club Foam and Foam Fan+ members, Foam organises photography workshops in November based on the exhibition Masahisa Fukase - Private Scenes.

During the workshop, you will follow in the footsteps of Masahisa Fukase and make a series of experimental, biographical photographs using various materials. In a short assignment, you have your photo taken or photograph someone else, a still life or abstract image. You can print this on a small size, after which there are enough possibilities to add expression and apply materials to the photos.&nbsp; Think of sewing yarn, applying pins and emphasising composition by means of fine liners. The experiment is paramount. The workshop ends with discussing each other's work. In this way, you also learn from the photography of others and learn to recognise your own style. All results are sent digitally afterwards, the analogue results can, of course, be taken home.&nbsp; The workshop ends with discussing each other's work.
