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 summer issue of Aperture magazine #199, is now on newsstands.

Here are some of the features:

Artist Robert Gober’s selection of Diane Arbus’ lesser-known images, which he considers to have had an impact on his own work.

Environmentalist and photographer Kelly Poe documents landscapes inspired by letters from incarcerated ‘eco-terrorists’.

Stephen Dupont’s collaboration with U.S. Marines combines his photographs with notes written by his subjects, answering the question “Why are you a Marine?”
