Foam 3h

Foam 3h is our project space where recently graduated artists and photographers are invited to present their first solo museum exhibition.

For this space Foam selects national and international artists who’s portfolio the world should see. The artists are challenged to experiment, surprise and push the limits of photography. Over the years, Foam 3h has become an important meeting place for photographers, artists, students, collectors and other players in the photography field.

Now at Foam 3h: Les Adu - I Am

Photographer Les Adu was deeply affected by the death of George Floyd and the subsequent outcry of the Black Lives Matter movement worldwide earlier this year. As a reaction, Adu created over one hundred powerful portraits of his family, friends and acquaintances. The individual photographs voice the strength, resilience and pride of the black community.
