5 August 2016 to 21 September 2016

Hypnagogia is a hallucinatory mental state between wakefulness and sleep, a blurring of consciousness which is often associated with heightened creativity. The idea for this themed project came to Alec Soth unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, and the photographs that make up the exhibition are gleaned from years of work between 1996 and the present day. 

4 June 2015, 15:15 to 30 June 2015, 15:15

The Belfast Photo Festival is a not for profit organisation that presents one of the leading International Festivals of photography in the United Kingdom and the Visual Arts Festival of Northern Ireland.

The Don’t Stop Now: Fashion Photography Next exhibition, organised by Foam in collaboration with guest curator Magdalene Keaney, starts out from the fact that fashion photographers are first and foremost photographers. The exhibition provides a platform for a new generation of image-makers who work with fashion and draws upon developments from the past five years.

16 May 2014 to 2 July 2014

Foam Amsterdam presents four exibitions. The Enclave is an installation of six screens which represent the conflict situation in Congo, shot with infrared film that was designed for camouflage detection resulting in psychedelic magenta-coloured sites of the jungle warzone. Adding, Adding, Adding is by Swiss illusionists Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs. The Citadel presents revealing photographs by Iranian Kaveh Golestan. And Ola Lanko's All Year Round is a 365-image restrospective of a year.

20 December 2013 to 12 March 2014

Foam ended 2013 with a unique retrospective exhibition by William Klein. The entire museum has been dedicated to the life and work of this legendary photographer, filmmaker and designer.

The career of William Klein (b. 1928) spans more than sixty years and his work had a major influence on photography in the second half of the twentieth century. The exhibition gives ample coverage to Klein’s ground-breaking work in New York in the 1950s while also displaying work made in Rome, Moscow and Tokyo.

13 September 2013 to 11 December 2013

Photographer Cristina De Middel (1975, Spain) chose as the starting point for her project The Afronauts a little-known episode from Zambia’s history.

10 September 2013 to 11 December 2013

America by Car documents Lee Friedlander's countless wanderings around the United States over the past decade.

Friedlander succeeds in giving the classical theme of the American road trip his own very original twist, using the cars' windscreens and dashboards to frame the familiar American landscape. His images are so layered that new information continues to surface with every glance, making America by Car a unique evocation of contemporary America.

13 September 2013 to 13 November 2013

With his publication Handbook to the Stars (2012) as starting point for the eponymous Foam 3h exhibition, the Hungarian artist Peter Puklus (1980) attempts to portray his own universe and to provide insight into how his photographic works relate to each other: like galaxies in relative proximity to one another that are bound together by their own gravitational force.

The images function alongside each another and through one another, have no sequence or chronology, but exist individually even as they form interconnections and follow their own patterns.

25 January 2013 to 3 April 2013

This process began in the early 1850s, practically simultaneously with the discovery of the new medium itself. The colouring technique, based on the traditional methods of craftsmen who added colour into a certain contour design, has determined a whole independent trend in the history of photography in Russia, from ‘post-card’ landscapes and portraits to Soviet propaganda and reportage photography.
