In celebration of the organization’s 10-year anniversary, Foam will be hosting the group exhibition, Still/Life at Foam Amsterdam.  The exhibition is a modern take on the classic genre of still life. It features a large group of contemporary Dutch photographers, including Aperture-published artists Melanie Bonajo, Anne de Vries, and Marnix Goossens. Bonajo and Vries were featured in Aperture issues 199 and 195, respectively, and Goossens was featured in the Aperture book Photo Art: Photography in the 21st Century.

The Museum of the City of New York and Foam_Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam present Dutch Seen: New York Rediscovered. This exhibition is guest curated by Kathy Ryan, Photo Editor of The New York Times Magazine, and commemorates the 400th anniversary of the Dutch arrival in Manhattan. The show features works from contemporary Dutch photographers aimed at constructing a portrait of what New York City is today. The exhibition includes portraiture, landscapes, still lifes, conceptual photographs, and documentary photography in a display of modern work, firmly rooted within the Dutch tradition. Participating artists include: Morad Bouchakour, Misha de Ridder, Wijnanda Deroo, Rineke Dijkstra, Charlotte Dumas, Hendrik Kerstens, Arno Nollen, Erwin Olaf, Jaap Scheeren, Danielle van Ark, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and Hellen van Meene.
